Mathematics Mathematics is central to everyday life and to the way we see the world. It is an intellectual adventure in its own right but it is also used to understand the physical world - from gravitational waves to global warming - and to find solutions in business and industry. Our graduates have a range of careers open to them. The logical, analytical and practical problem-solving skills you will develop are sought by employers. Physics Physics is the study of matter and motion, what the world is made of and how it works. Physicists study everything from the smallest particles to the structure of the universe. You will learn the fundamental principles of physics and start to specialise as you progress through your programme. The core skills you learn, such as how to assemble data by experiment, study or calculation and how to draw conclusions from your observations, will prepare you for a range of careers or for further study and research.
