YouÕll take core modules leading to a knowledge of advanced mathematics, quantum theory and special and general relativity, essential for describing the physics of particles and gravity.

Taking your studies further, youÕll choose from option modules dealing with exciting phenomena ranging from elementary particles to models of the universe as a whole. YouÕll also have access to modules reflecting the SchoolÕs full range of expertise across physics and astronomy.

The advanced numerical, problem solving and research skills you'll develop are highly valued across academia, industrial research and the corporate sector.

Your programme includes modules taught by staff from the SchoolÕs prestigious Centre for Research in String Theory, one of the foremost research groups in string theory in the world.

In your final year, youÕll undertake an independent research project, supervised by one of the SchoolÕs theoretical physicists.
