The MPhys mathematics and physics course open up a huge range of job opportunities and enables you to study for a PhD in either field. Our MPhys Mathematics and Physics courses offer the perfect answer. Taught jointly by the two departments, our courses focus on the way mathematics is applied in physics. Whether you think of it as applied mathematics or theoretical physics, this joint degree gives you the best of both worlds. Partnered with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and home to superb facilities and academics at the forefront of research in both mathematics and physics, the University of Surrey is uniquely placed to offer this distinctive subject. Physicists and mathematicians are highly sought after in industry, research, education, management, medicine, law and business because of their wide ranging practical skills and knowledge of fundamental theory. Our degrees will provide you with the analytical, experimental and computational skills valued in a wide range of careers. All Surrey physics students learn a range of employability skills during their studies. This includes dedicated sessions on interview techniques, CV preparation and job applications. Students who take a Professional Training placement also get invaluable employment experience at their host institution. Many of our graduates, particularly those with an MPhys degree, go on to postgraduate degrees in order to become researchers. Other graduates have launched careers in organisations such as: Shell International Petroleum; 3M; GEC Marconi Research; Nokia; BT; National Physical Laboratory; BBC; NHS; Defence Research Agency; Surrey Medical Imaging Systems. Graduates have taken up roles such as research physicists, consultants, engineers, teachers and bankers in companies including the BBC, BAE Systems and Astrium.
