MSc Advanced Physics

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

Our MSc Advanced Physics will give you the key skills needed for employment in industry, public service or academic research.

Reflecting the research strengths and specialisms of our Department of Physics, the MSc Advanced Physics combines compulsory modules in superconductivity and nanoscience with options that include quantum computing and solid state physics.

Over the course of the programme, you will explore diverse modules which will allow you to apply and communicate your knowledge of materials science. This will culminate in the development of an individual project essay in which you will consider a particular aspect of physics and gain experience in conducting a piece of original applied research.

 

Entry Requirements

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