Program details

Overview

The MSc Advanced Physics programme deepens physics understanding and builds research capability for careers in industry, public service and academic work. It draws on the active research carried out within the physics department. Graduates are prepared for demanding roles. Students study compulsory modules across several streams, including quantum engineering, photonics, condensed matter, complex systems and medical physics. Students can specialise by stream, and the teaching draws directly on active research in those areas. Compulsory modules build a shared base before options deepen specialist knowledge. The final project explores a current theme in physics, which could involve quantum technologies, and offers hands-on experience of original applied research. Graduates leave with skills sought by employers worldwide. The project also builds independent working habits and clear scientific communication.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: A 2:2 honours degree (or equivalent international qualification) in physics, science or engineering, or appropriate professional experience.
