About this course

Physics with Theoretical Physics is a degree for students who wish to engage with the deepest and most mathematically demanding aspects of the discipline. Theoretical physics seeks to understand the fundamental laws of nature through mathematical modelling and conceptual reasoning, working at the frontiers where quantum mechanics, general relativity, quantum field theory and statistical physics overlap and challenge each other. It is a demanding and intellectually exhilarating field that develops exceptional mathematical and analytical ability alongside a deep understanding of how the universe works. At the University of Bath this five-year MPhys degree combines comprehensive physics education with specialist theoretical physics content, and incorporates substantial placement and international experience options. The programme includes a sandwich year and a year abroad option, as well a
