BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Physics with foundation year in Guildford United Kingdom | University of Surrey

For those fascinated by the cosmos and mathematics, our combined mathematics and physics programs might be ideal for you. These interdisciplinary degrees, offered collaboratively by both departments, provide comprehensive BSc, MMath, and MPhys options that delve deeper into mathematical concepts and their applications in solving physics challenges. Whether you view it as mathematical physics or theoretical mathematics, this dual program offers the advantages of both disciplines. Two distinctive features of these programs include: Our renowned Professional Training opportunities: BSc students can undertake paid internships in research labs or corporations, acquiring practical industry experience. MPhys and MMath candidates can pursue Year 4 research placements within our internationally recognized research teams. Our emphasis on undergraduate research initiatives: Students may secure paid summer research positions with our academic teams or through our South East Physics Network collaborations. Internal funding is available to support research projects, conference attendance, or entrepreneurial ventures.

These programs cover fundamental subjects in both fields, such as quantum mechanics, linear algebra, particle physics, and differential equations. You'll also have access to diverse elective modules—including general relativity, fluid mechanics, nuclear astrophysics, and Galois theory—along with an in-depth research project to customize your academic journey. Your culminating research endeavor will be guided by a distinguished faculty member, with potential outcomes publishable in academic journals. Traditional lectures are supplemented by hands-on work in our state-of-the-art radiation laboratories, recently upgraded through a £2.7 million investment. Undergraduate researchers utilize these facilities for experiments connected to the Nuclear and Particle Physics curriculum.
