Our BSc Mathematics and Physics degree is ideal for those looking to combine the logic and proof of mathematics with the profound insights into the physical world offered by the study of physics.
Physics underpins the fundamental laws that govern everything from the smallest particles to the vast universe around us, and serves as the toolkit for modern engineering and the physical sciences. At Loughborough, you will study the foundational principles of physics while developing your problem-solving, experimental, mathematical, and computational skills which are valued in a wide range of workplaces and careers.
This degree combines the core physics course with pure and applied mathematics modules, enabling you to gain a deep understanding of physical phenomena combined with the rigour necessary to appreciate the mathematical foundations that underpin our physical theories.
What's the difference between MPhys and BSc?
Our MPhys programmes offer a competitive edge in the job market due to their advanced content, highlighting commitment and specialized knowledge. The MPhys programmes include an extended research project, allowing deep exploration and potential contributions to human knowledge. For careers needing deep physics understanding and research capability, an MPhys bolsters prospects. While a BSc partially meets Chartered Physicist and Chartered Scientist requirements, MPhys fully satisfies them.
