📖Program Curriculum
This course has a common first.
In the first, the curriculum is shared across related courses allowing you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline before going on, in the second and third, to specialist modules in your chosen field.
We want your degree to fit around you, so upon successful completion of your first, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first (subject to meeting progression requirements).
Common first-year courses
Mathematics and Statistics (Hons)Physics and Mathematics
Modules
Calculus - 20 Credits

There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement2 can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.
If you choose to do a work placement, you will pay a reduced tuition fee3 of £1250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time, you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement.
