Theoretical Physics with Mathematics Maynooth University

Overview

Key Features of the  Theoretical Physics with Mathematics programme from Maynooth University

• Students develop a deeper understanding of the various areas of modern mathematics, including analysis, algebra, geometry, and topology.

• This accelerated three-year programme is designed for students with a very strong interest in theoretical physics and mathematics. Theoretical (Mathematical) Physics and Mathematics are studied throughout the three years of the programme.

• Understand how mathematical science underpins key areas of human endeavour and industry, from engineering to construction to economics, software development to space travel.

• Learn how to think hard and rigorously about mathematical questions and the fundamental theories of physics.

Career Options

• Theoretical physicists and mathematicians are suitable for a wide range of occupations, not only in high-tech fields, but also in areas where analytical and problem-solving skills are valued.

• Graduates may consider careers in research and development, computing and software engineering, electronics, telecommunications, semiconductors, banking, finance, management, and teaching, to name a few.

• Graduates are prepared for research in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and their applications in science and technology. Many of graduates move on to postgraduate study and research at this university or major international universities.

• The Maynooth University MSc in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics is a popular option.
