Key features

You don’t need to be a genius to study maths at university. If you enjoy tackling problems, asking questions, and learning with others, you can succeed here. At Plymouth, we provide students with the support and guidance needed to build confidence, develop practical skills, and go on to challenging, rewarding careers that make an impact.Mathematics is the basis of theoretical physics, and physicists with a deep knowledge of mathematics are in high demand. In your first year, you’ll build a solid mathematical foundation that underpins theoretical physics and the rest of your degree, including the calculus, linear algebra and probability topics required to understand quantum mechanics. You’ll also meet group theory, which provides the mathematical techniques for understanding particle physics. You won’t just learn the theory; you’ll master Python programming to simulate physical systems, one of the most in-demand skills in industry today. Throughout the course, you will benefit from direct support from expert lecturers in small, friendly group sessions designed to give you a truly personalised experience.
