• The M.Math in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at Aberystwyth University is a full-time 4 years program.
  • In studying this degree program in Mathematics and Physics students will divide their time equally between these two highly complementary academic disciplines in two departments that are making ground-breaking advances in research and innovation.
  • Mathematics and Physics have been taught at Aberystwyth since the foundation of the university in 1872, making the university the first in Wales to teach these subjects.
  • Their Physics courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics (IoP), a leading scientific society that engages with policymakers and the general public to advance physics education, research, and application, giving them a head start when they enter competitive jobs market.
  • Their Mathematics courses are accredited by the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), the UK’s learned and professional society for mathematics and its applications. The IMA exists to support the advancement of mathematical knowledge and its applications and to promote and enhance mathematical culture in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, for the public good.
  • The Department of Mathematics maintained its position as one of the best departments in Wales in the most recent Research Excellence Framework. The department returned almost 90% of their staff, the highest proportion of any Welsh mathematics department.
  • Results show that 1 in 8 of their research outputs are world-leading, and more than 60% are either world-leading or internationally excellent. All of their research and the impact it has outside universities were judged to be of international standard.
  • Their Physics lecturers are also researchers working at the cutting edge of their respective fields, so the students can be confident that their learning experience will be informed by the latest specialist knowledge along with advanced instrumentation, modeling, and techniques.
  • The Departments of Mathematics and Physics is at the forefront of Welsh-medium provision in these subjects at higher education level in Wales. Details of Welsh language modules in mathematics and physics may be obtained from the Department.
