Mathematics and Physics

About this course

Mathematics and physics have a relationship of exceptional depth. The development of modern physics has been inseparable from the development of mathematical tools, from calculus to group theory to differential geometry, and studying them together reveals connections that neither discipline illuminates alone. At Royal Holloway, University of London, the BSc Mathematics and Physics is a three-year full-time programme that explores this interplay directly, combining core theories and principles from both subjects with the mathematical ideas that bring them together. The degree includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement, giving you substantial professional and international experience alongside your academic study. You will engage with both pure and applied mathematics alongside the major areas of modern physics. In mathematics, this means real and complex analysis, algebr
