PhD in Physics

Graduate students in physics at Harvard choose among many subjects and departments. Within the physics department they use modern laboratory facilities and work with well-known faculty and experienced postdoctoral researchers. The research spans atoms and molecules, light and matter, condensed matter, computational methods, solids and fluids, biological physics, astronomy and cosmology, statistical and mathematical physics, particle physics, field theory, string theory and gravity. Candidates apply to the Griffin Graduate School (GSAS), which confers the degree. An undergraduate concentration at Harvard College serves several goals, from preparing for a professional physics career to supporting later study in medicine, teaching, law, business and government service. The program page pairs a short summary with links to learn more and to apply. It does not publish tuition, duration or deadline information, so applicants should confirm those details with the admitting school before planning.
