Mathematical Physics with Foundation Year

About this course

Mathematical physics sits at the deepest junction between two of the most rigorous intellectual disciplines, mathematics provides the language and structure through which physics makes its predictions, and physics drives the development of new mathematical ideas and techniques. As the University of Southampton puts it, many mathematical areas have been developed to solve physical problems, and this degree explores mathematical topics and how they appear throughout theoretical physics. It is a programme for students who are drawn to both the precision of mathematics and the ambition of physics to describe the fundamental laws of the universe. Southampton's five-year full-time Mathematical Physics with Foundation Year degree has a typical entry tariff of 168 points. The foundation year provides the mathematical and physical preparation you need before progressing into the main programme,
