Mathematics and Physics

About this course

Mathematics and physics is one of the most intellectually demanding and rewarding combinations available at university level, bringing together two disciplines that are deeply intertwined and that between them provide the most rigorous and fundamental account of how the natural world is organised. Mathematics supplies the language in which physical theories are written and the tools through which physical problems are solved; physics poses the questions that drive mathematical innovation and tests mathematical structures against the behaviour of the real world. Studying them together at a high level illuminates how each enriches the other. At the University of Durham, this three-year full-time MSci Mathematics and Physics degree focuses on mathematical rigour and the theoretical aspects of physics, taught by specialists in both departments.
