Uwaga! Kierunek jest objęty stypendium EU Bursary. Dla studentów z Unii Europejskiej.

Overview

This physics and mathematics degree combines a thorough education in mathematics with explorations of phenomena at all length scales, from the sub-atomic level (quantum mechanics) to the macroscopic scale (cosmology), and everything in between.

• You will have the opportunity to gain expertise in mathematics and translate concepts in physics into mathematical and computational models, allowing you to solve various physical and real-world problems upon completing the course.
• An essential part of the course relies on understanding numerical and experimental processes and the uncertainties inherent in measurements. As such, you will have ample opportunity to engage with real-world data analysis and experimental techniques using activity-led learning, lab-before-lecture and flipped learning techniques, forming a long-standing part of Coventry University’s teaching and learning strategy.
• Throughout your studies, you will have the chance to learn many analytical and numerical tools used by physicists to tackle problems in the areas of statistical mechanics, cosmology, or quantum mechanics.

One of the top 15 universities in the country in the Guardian University Guide 2019, Coventry has a long tradition of teaching mathematics with a strong emphasis on its applications in practical situations. Accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), this course meets the educational requirements towards gaining Chartered Mathematician status, the first of two stages to do so.

Course information

As well as providing an excellent grounding in theoretical physics, we adopt a practical approach to applied mathematics, helping you to gain experience using important software packages, like MAPLE and MATLAB®. We’ll also provide opportunities for you to develop sophisticated analytical skills, together with the reporting and presentation skills required to communicate arguments and conclusions effectively. You will also study pure and applied mathematics, including areas such as numerical analysis and mechanics.

Why you should study this course

• Studying physics and mathematics degree at Coventry University will provide you with the opportunity to delve into the laws governing the Universe, from a microscopic (particles and atoms) to an astronomical scale (planets and galaxies), and the diverse and beautiful language of mathematics required to describe the laws.
• Technological advances such as the current digital revolution, quantum computing, and holographic screens were driven by the curiosity of generations of scientists investigating the fundamental principles of physics. Future advances, will likewise, depend on our evolving understanding of physics. Since ancient times, critical thinking has been at the heart of all physical theory. You will acquire the core meta-skill traditional in physics to question everything, to take nothing for granted, to test theory against experiments until you reach a coherent and satisfying model of the world around you.
• You will be taught by a teaching team which includes active researchers in physics and applied mathematics with expertise in complex systems, statistical physics and fluid dynamics, who share their research expertise through teaching and supervising projects. The teaching team is passionate about and uniquely oriented towards success and the well-being of their students. (Staff may be subject to change).
• Studying physics and mathematics will provide you with the opportunity to develop practical, experimental, and strong problem-solving skills. This may open the door, not only to careers in all areas of science, engineering, and teaching, but thanks to the transferable nature of the skills developed, graduates are also much appreciated in areas as diverse as data science, actuarial science, finance, and banking.
• You’ll also receive one-to-one assistance from sigma, the university’s Centre for Excellence in Mathematics and Statistics Support

You’ll be taught by active researchers in applied mathematics and statistics with expertise in fluid dynamics, complex systems and climate change, who will share their research findings through teaching and supervising projects, as well as offering opportunities to apply for summer research internships. Past students have, for example, undertaken internships analysing social networks of past cultures through ancient and mythological narratives or studied lattice models of polymers.

We encourage you to adopt an international perspective with opportunities to conduct Online International Learning (OIL) activities with students from around the world, participate in field trips overseas or spend a year studying abroad in Europe, America or Australia. We also provide support to help you gain professional experience on placement. Previous sandwich year opportunities have been offered by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals, Jagex Game Studios, The Warner Bros, National Grid, Morgan Stanley financial services, E.ON, Cummins, TATA and Birmingham Airport.

International experience opportunities

If you have a desire to gain international experience, there are opportunities to spend a year studying abroad. In the past, students have chosen to study Mathematics in St Marcus University in California, University of Malta, Stockholm University in Sweden, also universities in the Netherlands, Germany and Australia. Courses in all these Universities are delivered in English.

The opportunity for a sandwich placement means we will aim to support you in applying for an internship anywhere in the world. Past students have gone to work in countries such as Malaysia, Belgium and Spain. Past students have gone to work in countries such as Malaysia, Belgium and Spain.

Career prospects

Studying physics and maths should help you develop skills in logical thinking and statistical or strategic knowledge, demonstrating to employers your advanced numerical and analytical ability.

It can give you a significant advantage in the job market upon successful completion, opening up a wide range of career opportunities in industry, accountancy, banking, computer analysis, marketing, industrial design, management, and scientific research. You could be employed in a wide variety of roles, for example, as an actuarial analyst, actuary, forensic accountant, operational researcher, research scientist, teacher, statistician or stockbroker.
