理学士（荣誉）理论物理学

本课程强调使用理论和数学方法来理解物理定律。您可以选择其他数学模块，也可以拓宽项目工作的经验。您将在第三年完成一个理论或计算项目，并就所选的理论主题进行独立的定向阅读。我们的课程探索从亚原子粒子到恒星和星系的宇宙定律。您将加入一个研究人员和学生社区，以寻找宇宙中一些最大问题的答案。我们所有的本科生都拥有与员工一起进行实际研究项目的实践经验。我们拥有全面的现代化设施，包括研究实验室，位于我们建筑物屋顶上的两台望远镜以及对加那利群岛的望远镜的远程访问。我们举办由物理研究所的专家举办的研讨会，并有一个活跃的学生
Our Theoretical Physics course puts an emphasis on the fundamental mathematics that has brought physicists ever closer to a ‘theory of everything'. You'll explore the classical physics principles that defined scientific thinking up to the 20th century, then look in depth at topics like relativity and quantum mechanics which, since Einstein's day, have led to countless discoveries.<br><br>In your first two years, you'll do the essential physics that all of our students cover, including quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, special relativity and classical physics. You can study more advanced maths topics in the university's School of Mathematics and Statistics including: calculus, geometry, differential equations, linear algebra, and mechanics and fluids. These modules give you a much more detailed understanding of mathematical concepts than our standard physics degrees.<br><br>In practical classes, you'll run experiments using the equipment in our modern laboratories to help you understand how important theories apply to the real world. In programming classes you can learn skills that are key to theoretical physics and valuable in many graduate careers, from data science to computer game design. There are also optional modules on topics such as particle physics and the physics of music.<br><br>In the third year, you can branch out into lots of different areas and complete your own research project in theoretical physics. Your core modules will cover topics like quantum mechanics and statistical physics. Optional modules include dark matter and mathematical biology.
