Program details

Overview

This research-based Master of Science in Physics is offered through SPMS, NTU's physical and mathematical sciences school. It combines advanced coursework with hands-on experience of original research in physics, including its applied side. Students are admitted to the physics division only when a faculty member has agreed to supervise their research. Applicants should therefore contact faculty whose interests match their own before starting the formal application, and begin applying once a supervisor has agreed. Applications are taken in two windows each year: October to January for the August intake, and June to July for the January intake, with most students joining in the first. Students can study full-time or part-time, and are encouraged to approach potential supervisors before they apply.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: A BSc in Physics or a related discipline, with at least second-upper class honours or equivalent if the university has an honours system. International applicants must provide GRE General Test or GATE scores; a GRE subject score in physics is welcome but not required. International applicants who are not native English speakers must provide TOEFL or IELTS scores. Applicants who cannot take these tests may be able to sit alternative evaluation tests administered by the school. A faculty member must agree to supervise the applicant.
