Nottingham, University of, MSci (Hons), Mathematical Physics

University of Nottingham
 United Kingdom
Year 1: Students gain a basic grounding in mechanics, including special relativity, electromagnetism, thermal physics and quantum theory, mathematical modelling, calculus, linear mathematics and mathematical reasoning, along with an introduction to computing using Matlab and Maple. Year 2: Students learn the core elements of the classic theories of physics: electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, optics and analytical mechanics; in parallel, students learn the mathematical language in which these theories are expressed: vector calculus, complex analysis, and Fourier analysis; in addition, students study numerical techniques for the solution of problems in physics. Year 3: Students choose from a wide range of topics which extend and apply the core theories and methods learned in the 1st 2 years and carry out a project in the general area of mathematical physics; MSci students choose from a narrower range of topics which extend the previous year's work and form a coherent preparation for 4th year topics; in addition, MSci students are given training in communication skills in preparation for the more student-centred approaches taken in some of the 4th year modules. Year 4: Students study advanced topics in theoretical physics including black holes, quantum field theory, modern quantum theory and condensed matter physics as well as carrying out a substantial project in mathematical physics.
