Mathematical Physics
Explore the mathematical structures that underpin our understanding of the physical universe through a substantial programme of advanced study spanning calculus, classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, relativity, statistical physics and advanced mathematical methods. From the mathematics of motion, waves and fields to general relativity, quantum theory and the foundations of modern theoretical physics, the programme provides a rigorous progression from fundamental mathematical techniques to some of the most fascinating ideas in contemporary physics.
Designed for serious enthusiasts and independent learners, the 360-credit Advanced Diploma progresses through three levels of study, with opportunities at Level 6 to explore specialist areas including quantum field theory, string theory, cosmology, nonlinear dynamics, fluid dynamics, advanced electromagnetism, and geometry and topology. Study the complete programme over three years or longer, or begin with an individual Level 4 module and build from there.
KEY INFORMATION
What is Mathematical Physics
Mathematical Physics uses advanced mathematical ideas and techniques to describe, model and understand the physical universe. It provides the mathematical foundations of areas such as mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum theory, relativity, cosmology and modern theoretical physics.
Mode of Delivery
Asynchronous lectures, reading materials and extensive resources are shared on our Moodle platform to which you will be granted access. The course is delivered entirely online, under the guidance of our expert lecturers and academic staff. The academic year begins in September but you can also enter the programme in January.
What do you study
Broadly similar to a three year undergraduate degree, there are three levels (levels 4 to 6). In level 4 (year 1) you will study four core modules to give you the foundations of Mathematical Physics. In year 2 you study at level 5, with further core modules to advance your knowledge, and begin to make choices from our optional modules. In year 3 you will specialise by choosing from a variety of optional modules, and complete your dissertation on a topic chosen in collaboration with the academic staff and your supervisor. The modules are detailed below.
Cost
Each 15 credit module is £200, with a 30 credit module costing £400. This includes everything for the module, with no hidden cost. The entire programme therefore costs £4800, but you can study a module at a time and exit the programme when you wish. You will receive a certificate for each module, and a certificate of completion should you exit early which summarises the extent of your study.
Founding Cohort Discount
As these programmes are new, we are offering a limited number of places with a scholarship discount of 80%. T&Cs apply. This is an excellent opportunity to learn something new, and be involved with the development of a new course, at a really low cost. Email us today to find out more (info@wessexacademia.co.uk).
