Mathematics and Physics

UCAS code: FG32

Here's what Nottingham Trent University says about its Mathematics and Physics course.

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

In your first two years, you’ll develop basic skills in both mathematics and physics. Core subjects focus on mathematical methods, numerical methods, mechanics and matter.

Then you can decide on your journey, and we’ll help you reach your final destination. By specialising in mathematics or physics in your final year, you can make your learning experience everything it needs.

Our Mathematics and Physics degrees are current and relevant to the needs of the business. Our close links with the industry mean that, if you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies.

What you'll study 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.

You’ll use our outstanding laboratory facilities. Last year, we spent £250,000 on new equipment for our teaching laboratories, including telescopes, CCD cameras, ultrasound scanners, magnetic resonance spectrometers, high-speed cameras, thermal imaging equipment and a high-resolution 3D printer.
