Physics with Theoretical Physics

About this course

Physics is the most fundamental of the natural sciences, seeking to understand the nature of matter, energy, space, and time from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest structures in the universe. Theoretical physics takes this project a step further, using mathematical frameworks of extraordinary power and elegance to build models of how the physical world works, often in ways that precede and predict experimental discovery. The history of physics is full of instances where abstract mathematical reasoning led directly to technology that changed the world: quantum mechanics underpins the transistor, relativity underpins GPS, and gauge theory underpins particle physics experiments at the frontier of knowledge. At the University of Manchester, Physics with Theoretical Physics runs over three years in full-time mode, with a foundation year available for those who need to strengthe
