BSc · The University of Bath · 4 years
Theoretical physics takes the most fundamental questions about nature and addresses them through the language of mathematics. Where experimental physics tests ideas against observed data, theoretical physics constructs the frameworks, the equations, the conceptual models, that guide what experiments to run and explain what they find. Studying theoretical physics alongside general physics gives you both the practical laboratory skills of an experimental scientist and the mathematical depth of a theorist, producing a graduate who can operate across the full range of the discipline. At the University of Bath, this four-year full-time programme includes both a sandwich placement year and a year abroad, as well as a work placement, giving you multiple opportunities to apply your learning in professional and international settings before you graduate.
