This degree combines the best aspects of the separate mathematics and physics degrees, offering enhanced flexibility, increased choice and the opportunity to pursue some of the most interesting and relevant questions that are pervasive in society, technology, the world and, indeed, the universe.

Mathematics graduates have the fifth highest employment rate of any degree subject in the UK and physics, the twelfth. Thus this degree provides a unique combination of factors: pure science with infinite intrigue awaiting a curious mind, and a hugely valuable and employable skill set enabling a broad range of possible future careers.
