Our Mathematical and Theoretical Physics MSc is designed to equip graduates with advanced mathematical tools that can be applied in major areas of scientific intrigue, from black holes and dark matter to quantum computing.Our wide range of optional modules cover topics such as general relativity, field theory, quantum mechanics, geometry, electrodynamics, solar physics and particle physics, allowing you to focus on the topics that are most important to you.Our modules on machine learning, finance and statistics, can help you to develop the skills you’ll need to stand out in the job markets where maths and physics graduates thrive, such as data science and banking.You’ll spend around one-third of your time working on your own research project, under the supervision of an expert from the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. This in-depth research experience is great preparation for a PhD. Recent topics include:Quantum Repeaters and Entanglement Purification in the Stabiliser FormalismClassical Perturbations of the Kerr SpacetimeChaos Synchronisation and Secure CommunicationApplications of Heun Functions to Kerr-Newman-anti-de Sitter Black Hole PerturbationsGeometric representations of gravityDark Energy, Scalar Field Quintessence, and a Negative Cosmological ConstantPath Integrals in Quantum Mechanics: Application to Quantum Tunneling in the Sextic Double Well PotentialCosmological Bounce Scenarios
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant subject with relevant modules. For example, a BSc Physics or BSc Mathematics programme, or equivalent. We look for applications that demonstrate a relevant background in applied mathematics and/or theoretical physics. An interest in fundamental physics is essential. As a minimum, a successful applicant will have demonstrated aptitude in the methods of calculus, Newtonian mechanics, and mathematical modelling. Other relevant subject areas include relativity, quantum mechanics and electrodynamics.
