About this course
MPhys (Hons) Theoretical Physics Explore phenomena which experimentation can't easily explain Book your place for our Open Days on Saturday 12 September and Sunday 13 September 2026. Theoretical physics provides the tools for constructing the mathematical framework of the physical world. On a foundation of advanced physics, you'll build your understanding of theoretical techniques. You'll use mathematical analysis and an array of computational methods to address complex problems. You'll learn key skills of analysis and research, write scientific reports to industry standards, and simulate huge physical systems using our supercomputers.
