Mathematics and Physics

About this course

Mathematics and physics are the twin foundations of our understanding of the natural world. Mathematics provides the language and the tools, the structures, patterns and logical frameworks through which physical reality can be modelled and understood. Physics asks what the universe is made of and how it behaves, from subatomic particles to cosmic structures, and uses mathematics to answer those questions with precision. Studying both together at the Open University, you will develop a powerful combination of abstract reasoning and scientific rigour that has applications across a remarkable range of fields. This part-time distance learning programme allows you to study flexibly around other commitments, working through material online and at your own pace while benefiting from tutor support and a structured academic community. You will cover topics in pure and applied mathematics alongsi
