BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Physics (with a year abroad)

The BSc Mathematics and Physics with a year abroad course offered by the University of York is a four-year course that provides students with a strong grounding in Mathematics and Physics, while also allowing them to spend a year studying in another country. This course offers a thorough understanding of core topics in both disciplines, allowing learners to explore their interests in more depth through a wide range of optional modules in their third and fourth years.Course Content: Throughout the course, students will study a range of areas like quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, mathematical methods, statistical mechanics, electromagnetic theory, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics. In their third year, students will have the chance to study abroad where they can immerse themselves in a new culture and gain exposure to different teaching methodologies. In the final year, learners are given the opportunity to undertake a large-scale individual project on a topic of their choice in either Physics or Mathematics, enabling them to build their research skills.Key Modules: Some of the core and optional modules include Quantum Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, Classical Mechanics, Statistical Physics, Algebra, Mathematical Methods, Mathematical Finance, Optimisation, Quantum Field Theory, General Relativity, Tropical Mathematics and Geometry, and Symmetries and Group Theory among others.Future Careers: This course prepares students for a wide range of careers. Graduates can find work in industries such as finance, data analysis, engineering, and technology. They can also embark on a career in research or teaching, or progress to postgraduate study.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
