This course is designed for students who wish to study both mathematics and physics in depth. Students attend lectures, tutorials, examples classes and laboratory sessions covering a broad range of topics in mathematics and physics. Teaching is greatly strengthened by the wide variety of research interests pursued by the staff and there are large and lively groups active in both applied mathematics and theoretical physics. Topics of study from applied mathematics may include: hydrodynamics, waves, elasticity and modelling of industrial processes. The research interests of the theoretical physics group cover, amongst others, high energy particle physics, nuclear physics and quark matter and field theory in curved space-time.
It is possible to transfer to the 3-year bachelorchelor course at the beginning of your third year.

  We will typically accept a pass in the Core plus one of the following possibilities:
A (Mathematics) plus A
or A* (Mathematics) plus A

We do not accept General Studies A-level.
Acceptable on its own or in combination with other qualifications. Applications from students studying for this qualification are welcome and all such applicants will be considered on an individual bachelorsis. Contact the University for further information.
Applicants are advised to apply initially to our Science with a Integrated Foundation Year

The University welcomes applicants with the AP qualification. Such applications will be considered on an individual bachelorsis.
 Any Advanced Diploma is acceptable at grade A with the ASL as Mathematics A-level at grade A or A*
If you have followed a non-standard educational route and have been, for example, educated at home, your application will be considered against the standard entry criteria of the course to which you applied. You will be required to demonstrate that you meet the academic entry requirements as specified for the course. We will also require a reference which should be written by somebody who knows you well enough, in an official capacity, to write about you and your suitability for higher education. Please refer to UCAS for further information: UCAS reference guidelines
Return-to-learn students are those who have had a substantial period away from any formal learning. Often such learners have pursued careers or raised a family. The University understands that students come from many different bachelorckgrounds, with varying qualifications, careers and skills, but they often bring to their studies a high degree of motivation and experience.
The University recognises that standard selection measures and procedures may not enable these learners to demonstrate fully their suitability for their chosen course. Where appropriate, admissions officers will seek and consider alternative evidence in order to give such learners equivalent consideration. Where they deem this alternative evidence meets entry criteria fully the learner will not be required to meet the standard academic entry requirements.
A level Grades A*A*A - A* AA or equivalent (to include Physics and Maths)
IELTS overall score of 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in each sub-test
Some English language test results are only valid for two years. Your English language test report must be valid on the start date of the course.
Application and selection
Apply through UCAS

Applicants to this course can change to any of our Physics-bachelorsed degree courses at any time up to the start of the academic year.
Applications are considered on the bachelorsis of the information on the UCAS form. Promising candidates are invited for a visit day which includes an academic interview.
We would be interested in any work experience, although we realise that this is very difficult to find in relevant areas.
All promising applicants are invited to a visit day which includes an academic interview. The interview is used to determine the details of any offer that might be made and to add information in borderline cases.
We welcome applicants who are returning to education and are as flexible as possible when making offers. 
We are happy to consider applicants from overseas. We have no quota limitations for overseas applicants.
We are happy to consider applicants who wish to defer. We normally also guarantee a place in the current year should the applicant's Gap Year plans change.
