BSc Applied Mathematics and Physics

The Applied Mathematics and Physics BSc course at Queen's University Belfast is designed for students who wish to combine their interest in both mathematics and physics. The course promotes a deep understanding of the essential concepts and techniques of mathematical and physical theories and their interrelationships. It provides the foundations necessary for those who plan to specialise in either mathematics or physics.Course Content: In the course, the initial years focus on core concepts of maths and physics. In the third academic year, students get to choose optional modules according to their interest. The mathematical physics degree includes a final year project which provides an opportunity to students to investigate a problem in depth and write a detailed report. The report is worth one-eighth of the final year credits.Key Modules: The degree modules include Mathematics for Physics, Elements of Astrophysics, Mathematics for Quantum Physics, Computational & Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics, Statistical Mechanics, Theoretical Atomic & Nuclear Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory. Future Careers: Graduates from this course are valued for their problem-solving skills, analytical ability, and capacity for logical argument. These skills make them highly employable in a variety of professional fields, including academia, education, finance, information and data analysis, public service, and advanced technologies.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
