Course summary
This course provides a combination of benefits – helping develop the crucial lab skills you’ll require as a physicist alongside a thorough understanding of the theories involved. When blended with mathematics, the study of physics becomes a powerful tool that you can use to explore the biggest questions known to humanity.
In your first two years, you’ll develop basic skills in both mathematics and physics. Core subjects focus on mathematical methods, numerical methods, mechanics and matter.
Then you can decide on your journey, and we’ll help you reach your final destination. By specialising in mathematics or physics in your final year, you can make your learning experience everything it needs.
Our Mathematics and Physics degrees are current and relevant to the needs of the business. Our close links with the industry mean that, if you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies.
What you'll study
In the modern world, many new employment opportunities demand multi-skilled graduates. Those with mathematical and physics skills are among the most sought-after in fields including industrial research and development, computing, business, finance and teaching.
You’ll use our outstanding laboratory facilities. Last year, we spent £250,000 on new equipment for our teaching laboratories, including telescopes, CCD cameras, ultrasound scanners, magnetic resonance spectrometers, high-speed cameras, thermal imaging equipment and a high-resolution 3D printer.

T Level
We will consider T Levels for entry to this course, either as stand-alone qualifications or in conjunction with other Level 3 qualifications, in accordance with the specified course tariff points.
A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university.
We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.
Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
NTU makes contextual offers for this course to give everyone a fair chance to access their chosen degree.
Contextual offers are lower than our standard entry criteria or may be an unconditional offer for courses that require a portfolio. We also take individual circumstances into account when we receive results and may accept grades lower than our published criteria.
We use a range of data from UCAS to make our offers and more information on our approach is available at the link below.
