BSc (Hons) Mathematics & Physics

University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Mathematics is everywhere: weather forecasting, cash machines, secure websites, electronic games, liquid crystal displays and statistical data analysis. 

Physics is used to help us answer some of the important questions which arise in the world around us. Once we understand the processes involved in these problems, we need to translate our ideas into mathematics to find solutions.

Our flexible degree structure enables transfer between courses with the opportunity to study abroad.
