Mathematics and Physics

About this course

Mathematics and physics at the University of Bristol is a degree for students who want to engage with both subjects at a high level, in a research environment that is internationally recognised in both. The connection between mathematics and physics is one of the deepest in intellectual history: physics has driven the development of many of the most important areas of mathematics, from calculus to differential geometry to group theory, while mathematics provides the precise language in which physical theories are formulated and tested. Over three years of full-time study, you will explore this relationship directly, developing facility across both disciplines simultaneously. The mathematics component covers the core areas of pure and applied mathematics: analysis, algebra, differential equations, probability, and the mathematical tools that are essential in theoretical physics.
