Staff in the School of Mathematics and Physics conduct research in fundamental and applied mathematics and physics, ranging from pure mathematics to applied nano-science at the interface between biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics.
Physics is a fundamental science which underpins our understanding of the world around us, from distant galaxies to the smallest particles. Physics challenges our thinking and changes our lives through developments in new technologies, healthcare and how we live.
The MSc Physics at Lincoln combines training in fundamental and applied physics balanced by an emphasis on personal and professional development. It aims to develop broad problem-solving skills, and includes a substantial research component.
The programme is structured around three core areas; students choose four taught modules designed to provide in-depth teaching of cutting-edge physics ideas, mathematical methods, and techniques; personal and professional development and entrepreneurial physics training; and an extended individual research project that begins in the second term and will be targeted to fit with students’ ambitions for the future.
