Course Description

Study with us.

  • focus on topics such as theoretical physics, quantum information, plasma physics and solid state physics
  • choose taught elements relevant to your career interests
  • gain transferable, problem solving and numeracy skills
  • opportunity to choose classes relevant to your interests

Why this course?

Our four divisions – Nanoscience, Optics, Plasmas and the Institute of Photonics – all contribute research-based teaching expertise to the course. You can choose taught elements relevant to your career interests from a wide range of topics, including:

  • theoretical & computational physics
  • quantum optics and quantum information
  • complexity science
  • physics and the life sciences
  • solid-state physics
  • plasma physics

You’ll put the knowledge gained in the taught components to use in a cutting-edge research project, which can be theoretical, computational or experimental.

Entry Requirements

Minimum second-class Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in physics (Mathematics and Physics, Theoretical Physics, Astrohphysics, Engineering Physics etc), or a related subject.
