We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester. Course structure This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2027 and ends in 2030. Welcome week starts on 20 September 2027. Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. Units At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you. As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning. All credits displayed on this page are ECTS credits. Year 1 Compulsory units Core pure and applied mathematics A 15 credits Core pure and applied mathematics B 15 credits Foundations of physics 1 20 credits Mathematics and physics skills 1 10 credits Year 2 Compulsory units Advanced linear algebra 5 credits Differential equations and vector calculus 10 credits Foundations of physics 2 20 credits Partial differential equations 5 credits Physics skills 2 5 credits Options Year 2 options 15 credits Year 3 Compulsory units Self-directed learning 5 credits Options Final year project and options 55 credits Study abroad or placement We also offer this course with a professional placement or study abroad. You can take advantage of our links with industry and research institutions in the UK and abroad to boost your experience, gain new contacts, or try out a career option. Learning and assessment You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject. Learning Laboratory sessions Lectures Practical sessions Seminars Tutorials Workshops Assessment Closed book written examination Open book written examination Practical Report Set exercises Visual or recorded presentation These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change. Learning and teaching Contact hours Timetabled contact hours, which may be made up of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 18 and 22 hours a week in your first year. Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high-quality online provision. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in-person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. The number of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year. Independent learning In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 13 – 22 hours per week in your first year, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing course working assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example in a final year project. Assessment breakdown You will be assessed by a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge. These include closed and open-book examinations, problem-solving assignments, laboratory and computing assessments, project reports and presentations. 70 to 80% of your course will be assessed through examinations. 20 to 30% will be assessed through coursework, including practical work. The balance of assessment methods will vary throughout your degree. In your final year, you will carry out a project. You will primarily be assessed as an individual but may also be assessed as part of a group. We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information. Professional accreditations By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and apply for membership with the accrediting body. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more exams. Accredited by the Institute of Physics for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirements for a Chartered Physicist. Recognition of professional qualifications As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries). The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work. ‘With doing both maths and physics, everything interlinks.

We currently have links with universities in North America, Australasia, Asia and Europe, including: Purdue University The University of Queensland National University Singapore The University of Helsinki Find out more about studying abroad Learning and assessment You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject. Learning Laboratory sessions Lectures Practical sessions Seminars Tutorials Workshops Assessment Closed book written examination Open book written examination Practical Report Set exercises Visual or recorded presentation These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change. Learning and teaching Contact hours Timetabled contact hours, which may be made up of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 18 and 22 hours a week in your first year. Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high-quality online provision. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in-person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. The number of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year. Independent learning In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 13 – 22 hours per week in your first year, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing course working assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example in a final year project. Assessment breakdown You will be assessed by a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge. These include closed and open-book examinations, problem-solving assignments, laboratory and computing assessments, project reports and presentations. 70 to 80% of your course will be assessed through examinations. 20 to 30% will be assessed through coursework, including practical work. The balance of assessment methods will vary throughout your degree. In your final year, you will carry out a project. You will primarily be assessed as an individual but may also be assessed as part of a group. We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information. Professional accreditations By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and apply for membership with the accrediting body. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more exams. Accredited by the Institute of Physics for the purpose of fully meeting the educational requirements for a Chartered Physicist. Recognition of professional qualifications As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries). The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work. ‘With doing both maths and physics, everything interlinks.
