Master the logic, rigour and proof of mathematics alongside the universal principles of physics to prepare you for a wide range of careers.Mathematics and physics are disciplines with a natural affinity. Physics cannot be studied seriously without mathematics, and applied mathematics has its roots in the analysis of fundamental equations of physics.This course is for you if you enjoy and excel at mathematics and want to combine that knowledge with insights into the physical world. You’ll learn about the rigour and generality of mathematics and its role in formalising empirical physical laws. You'll also develop your experimental and computational expertise and strengthen your problem-solving, analytical and critical thinking skills.FlexibilityThis course gives you the benefit of studying in two departments, deepening your knowledge and understanding of both subjects. In the first two years, you'll study core topics in mathematics and physics. In the final year, you'll carry out a substantial research project choosing from a wide range of different topics and types of project. Our wide range of final year physics and mathematics options also enable you to tailor the balance between the two subjects to meet your individual interests and preferences.

Typical offer: A*AA in three A levels including Mathematics and Physics with A* in Maths or Physics (or Further Mathematics if applicable). Further Mathematics is not required for this course. If you do study Further Mathematics, you must still achieve A in both Maths and Physics.Contextual offer: AAA or A*AB in three A levels including A in Mathematics and A in Physics.Alternative offer: AAA in three A levels including Mathematics and Physics plus additional study - please see the course pages on our website.
AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics.We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved AAAAA in their Highers.
Typical offer: 36 points overall and 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including Physics and either HL Mathematics.Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches is required at Higher Level.In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying Standard Level Physics. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 7, 6, 5 or 6, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches plus 7 in Standard Level Physics.Contextual offer: 36 points overall and 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches and 6 in Physics.
Typical offer: D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus grade A in A level Mathematics.You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your BTEC qualification.We are able to consider BTEC qualifications in Applied Science and you need to have studied as many units in Physical Science as possible. Please contact us to discuss the suitability of your units before making an application.
