Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Physics and Mathematics

Program Description

This course provides a combination of benefits – helping develop the crucial lab skills students will require as a physicist, alongside a thorough understanding of the theories involved. When blended together with mathematics, the study of physics becomes a powerful tool - one that students can use to explore the biggest questions known to humanity.

In the modern world, many new employment opportunities demand multi-skilled graduates. Those with mathematical and physics skills are among the most sought-after in fields including industrial research and development, computing, business, finance and teaching.

Students will use Nottingham Trent University's outstanding laboratory facilities. In the last year, Nottingham Trent University has spent £250,000 on new equipment for their teaching laboratories, including telescopes, CCD cameras, ultrasound scanners, magnetic resonance spectrometers, high speed cameras, thermal imaging equipment and a high resolution 3D printer.

In the first two years, students will develop basic skills in both mathematics and physics. Core subjects focus on mathematical methods, numerical methods, mechanics and matter.

Then students will have the freedom to decide their own journey and Nottingham Trent University will help them reach their final destination. By specialising in the direction of mathematics or physics in the final year, students can make their learning experience everything it needs to be.

The Mathematics and Physics degrees are current and relevant to the needs of business.
