Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [History] From University of Sunderland

This BSc Mathematics and Physics (Hons) at The University of StrathclydeÊis a four-year joint Honours programme. Each year contains compulsory classes and some years contain either optional classes which relate to different areas of mathematics and physics and/or elective classes from other subject areas in the University.

YouÕll take basic classes in both disciplines. In addition to the study of core mathematical methods, youÕll learn calculus, geometry, applied analysis, mechanics, numerical analysis and probability and statistics. Physics classes cover mechanics, waves and optics, electromagnetism and quantum physics, together with experimental physics.

YouÕll choose from the wide range of Mathematics & Physics classes available. It is possible to focus on an area in computational physics, or lasers and optics, or theoretical physics, such as quantum theory, while still developing mathematical skills. Your final-year project may be undertaken in either subject.

Facilities

YouÕll have access to well-equipped, modern laboratories and teaching rooms as well as 24-hour access to an advanced computer information network and a sophisticated virtual e-learning environment. We have also an undergraduate common room which gives you a modern and flexible area that's used for individual and group study work and is also a relaxing social space.

Careers

Graduates in Mathematics enter a wide range of employment, from the manufacturing and service industries, the actuarial, accountancy and banking professions, commerce and government, consultancy and education.

Our graduates go on to become investment analysts, numerical analysts, statisticians, actuaries, managers and teachers.

Physics graduates have a range of mathematical and analytical skills which allows them to enter a diverse range of sectors.
