Because of the interplay between Mathematics and Physics we focus on combining these disciplines believing that they co-exist and complement each other and that this is the most fulfilling way to study the subject area. The Physics component is a coherent, self-contained programme in degree-level Physics.
Exeter is an exciting place to study Mathematics and Physics. Recently, £8.2 million has been invested in ultra fast lasers, nano-fabrication, bio-imaging, lecture theatres, computing facilities and also our own astronomical observatory. In addition to this is the £1 million supercomputer located in the Physics Building, the 6th most powerful in a UK university.
Here at Exeter we are constantly pushing the boundaries of science. You will be taught by internationally recognised researchers, providing you with research led teaching within a multidiciplinary environment.
Choosing Mathematics and Physics at Exeter gives you:
- The flexibility and freedom to choose a wide range of optional modules - enabling you to sample various disciplines and specialise if desired.
- Research led teaching - all academic staff are active, internationally recognised researchers across a wide range of mathematical topics.
- First-class equipment and excellent facilities - including an £8.2 million investment including a major expansion of computer facilities and completely refitted lecture theatres.
- Staff committed to helping you make the best mathematics career choices - you'll be guided at every step to help you choose the best mathematics option for you.
Pre-University Physics Course
We run a three-day Pre-University Physics Course early in July each year which is open to anyone considering a physics course at any university. It provides a unique opportunity to get a feel for the subject at this level and for university life, before you make your choices on the UCAS form. Contact the PUPC Secretary, Department of Physics on +44 (0)1392 725349 or e-mail PhysUG@exeter.ac.uk.
Exeter is a fantastic place for both study and recreation. I have been very lucky to be able to take advantage of all Exeter has to offer. I undertook a work placement at the end of my first year working with a physics research group (working with the acoustics of gas masks) which was very interesting, not to mention a useful source of income! I’ve also been very involved with sport and have reached a high level at badminton and I currently represent Devon in the Inter-County Championship. Thanks to a well organised Guild and Athletic Union, Exeter is a leading university in sport and it has been a privilege representing them in the BUSA leagues.
Academically the University has catered for all my needs. The staff have always been helpful and dedicated.
One of the best things about the uni is the number of different places you can work – like a lot of people, when the pressure is off, I prefer to work in more informal places like the Devonshire House coffee bar, or the Clydesdale Centre – and there are many other similar places on campus.

The University of Exeter is probably the most up-and-coming research University in the UK; the dynamics research is absolutely exceptional. My programme attempts to provide a complete overview and understanding of the physical processes to its students, whilst at the same time giving opportunities to study another field such as Mathematics. I don’t like to confine the limits of my achievements and the University is really helping me to develop; the sky truly is the limit!
When I studied in Belarus I always favoured Humanities and Life Sciences, but my preference shifted to Physical Sciences towards the end of my schooling. I initially came to England to learn English on the INTO University of Exeter course, but my plans soon changed after I arrived here.
My attraction to Mathematics & Physics, the reputation of the College, a chance to study in England and the scholarship that I received from the University made me choose to stay here. I have nothing to complain about Exeter - it’s a wonderful place to live and study. The Physics School made a great impression when I first arrived and the Professors are wonderful. The student life is bright and I would encourage more international students to come to Exeter to help develop the atmosphere of a truly international community within beautiful surroundings.
