课程简介
达勒姆(Durham)是英国领先的物理学和天文学系之一,每年招收约170名学生。对我们的教学和研究的奉献精神使我们始终跻身所有排行榜的榜首。在这里学习期间,您将受益于大型研究部门的嗡嗡声和创造力,并加入了一个充满活力且专注的知识社区。我们的研究范围从基本的基本粒子物理学和宇宙学到我们与行业紧密合作的更多应用主题。我们提供物理学,物理与天文学和理论物理学的学位,所有这些学位均由物理研究所认可。我们的课程结构旨在为您最终选择学位课程提供灵活性。三年制BSc学位的对象是那些主要对物理学学位感兴趣的人,以为其从事
Theoretical physics employs mathematical techniques and theories to gain a deeper understanding of the physical world. This course is ideal if you have a specific interest in the mathematical aspects of physics. This integrated Master’s degree is the first step towards Chartered Physicist status. It will suit those looking for an accredited course that focuses on the mathematical and theoretical aspects of physics. Many graduates progress to higher level education followed by careers in research or teaching. For others, the course has opened the door to a range of professions where advanced analytic, numeric or computational skills are in demand. Undergraduate physics degrees at Durham offer a high level of flexibility. We offer four Institute of Physics accredited courses – MPhys qualifications in Physics, Physics and Astronomy, and Theoretical Physics and the three-year BSc in Physics – which follow the same core curriculum in Year 1. Subject to the optional modules chosen, it is possible to switch to one of the other courses until the end of the second year. You can also apply for a one-year work placement or study abroad opportunity with one of our partner organisations, increasing the course from four years to five or substituting the existing Year 3. The first year lays the foundation in physics theory, mathematical skills and laboratory skills that you will need to tackle more complex content later in the course. As you progress through the course the level of theoretical content increases, extending your knowledge in areas such as electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, particle theory and advanced mathematical theory. In Years 3 and 4 the curriculum is more closely aligned to real-world issues through a combination of theory and project work, including a final-year project on a topic at the forefront of developments in one of our research institutes.Course structureYear 1 modulesCore modules:Foundations of Physics introduces classical aspects of wave phenomena and electromagnetism, as well as basic concepts in Newtonian mechanics, quantum mechanics, special relativity and optical physics.Discovery Skills in Physics provides a practical introduction to laboratory skills development with particular emphasis on measurement uncertainty, data analysis and written and oral communication skills. It also includes an introduction to programming.Optional modules:In recent years, optional modules have included: Single MathematicsLinear AlgebraCalculus. Please note: it is compulsory to study two Maths modules (as background mathematical knowledge for the Foundations module).Year 2 modulesCore modules:Foundations of Physics A develops your knowledge of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism. You will learn to apply the principles of physics to predictable and unpredictable problems and produce a well-structured solution, with clear reasoning and appropriate presentation.Foundations of Physics B develops your knowledge of thermodynamics, condensed matter physics and optics.Mathematical Methods in Physics provides the necessary mathematical knowledge and understanding to successfully tackle the Foundations of Physics modules. It covers vectors, vector integral and vector differential calculus, multivariable calculus and orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, Fourier analysis, orthogonal functions, the use of matrices, and the mathematical tools for solving ordinary and partial differential equations occurring in a variety of physical problems.Theoretical Physics provides a working knowledge of classical mechanics and complements the quantum mechanics content of the module Foundations of Physics A. In this module you will explore the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics and the rotational motion of a rigid body. You will learn to describe elements of quantum mechanics in a rigorous mathematical way and to manipulate them at the operator level.
