BSc (Hons) Theoretical Physics (with a year in industry)

You'll use mathematical analysis and an various computational methods to address complex problems. You'll learn key skills of analysis and research and write scientific reports. Working to industry standards, you'll simulate huge physical systems using our supercomputers.

Work with world-renowned physicists. You will learn to use sophisticated supercomputers like York's own Viking cluster. With this, you'll be developing parallel code to model complex physical systems.

In your third year, you'll apply and develop your skills on a paid industrial placement. This gives you the chance to gain practical, real-world experience, enhancing your degree and your CV.

Accreditation
