MPhys Mathematics and Physics in Guildford United Kingdom | University of Surrey

For those fascinated by the cosmos and mathematical principles, our mathematics and physics programs might be ideal for you. These interdisciplinary courses, offered collaboratively by both departments through our BSc, MMath, and MPhys degrees, provide profound insights into mathematics and its practical applications in physics. Whether viewed as applied mathematics or theoretical physics, this combined program delivers the advantages of both disciplines. Two distinctive features of these courses include: Our renowned Professional Training opportunities: BSc students can undertake paid positions in research labs or corporations, acquiring hands-on industry experience. MPhys and MMath students have the option for a fourth-year research placement within our globally recognized research teams. Our emphasis on undergraduate research initiatives: Students can secure paid summer research positions with our research groups or through our South East Physics Network collaborators. Internal funding is available to support research projects, conference attendance, or entrepreneurial ventures.

These programs cover fundamental subjects in both fields, such as linear algebra, quantum physics, differential equations, and particle physics. You'll also have access to diverse elective modules—including fluid dynamics, nuclear astrophysics, Galois theory, and general relativity—alongside an extended project that allows customization based on your interests. Your culminating research project will be guided by a faculty member who is an expert in the field, 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 with a £2.7 million investment. Undergraduate students utilize these facilities for experiments tied to the Nuclear and Particle Physics curriculum.
