Theoretical Physics (TR035)

This course is taught jointly by the Schools of Mathematics and Physics. In the first two years (junior fresh, JF, and senior fresh, SF) students take This course is taught jointly by the Schools of Mathematics and Physics. In the first two years (junior fresh, JF, and senior fresh, SF) students take 20 credits in physics and 40 credits in mathematics. In the sophister years students take courses taught in both schools including specialist modules for theoretical physics. The Physics course contributes 1/3 and the Maths course 2/3 of the Theoretical Physics course. Modules taught in the School of Mathematics can be found here.
