The MPhys in Theoretical Physics is typically a five-year Integrated Masters course run by the School of Physics and Astronomy. It will take four years for those taking direct entry to second year. During the degree, students will be introduced to core topics in mainstream physics – such as mechanics, waves, light, electricity and magnetism – as well as learn the fundamental mathematical skills needed for application to physics.

In the first two years of their studies, they will also study modules from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, as mathematics is the language of physics. Depending on how many mathematics modules they choose to do, they may be able to choose modules in other subjects such as astronomy, chemistry, computer science, philosophy, or many other subjects from across the University. The flexible nature of the degree programmes at St Andrews means that by appropriate choice of modules in first and second year, they may be able to change your final degree topic during your course. Find out more about how academic years are organised.

As they advance in their degree, they are given more flexibility to choose their focus of study, whether that be in straight theoretical physics or in the direct application of physics to particular areas of interest.
