This MSc provides students with the skills, knowledge and research ability for a career in physics. The programme is designed to satisfy the need, both nationally and internationally, for well-qualified postgraduates who will be able to respond to the challenges that arise from future developments in this field.
Students develop insights into the techniques used in current projects in Physics, and gain in-depth experience of a particular specialised research area, through project work as a member of a research team. The programme provides the professional skills necessary to play a meaningful role in industrial or academic life.
Who this course is for
This MSc requires students to have an undergraduate degree level of knowledge in physics, astronomy, astrophysics or related discipline, who wish to develop a career in physics and related fields. The programme provides an ideal foundation for further research and entry on to a PhD programme.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in a strongly Physics-based programme from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
A Master’s degree in Physics is highly regarded by employers. Students gain a deep understanding of both basic phenomena underpinning a range of technologies with huge potential for future development, e.g. quantum information, as well as direct knowledge of cutting-edge technologies likely to play a major role in short to medium term industrial development while addressing key societal challenges such as energy supply or water sanitisation.
Employability
Physics-based careers embrace a broad range of areas, e.g., information technology, Large Data science (in commerce and industry), engineering, finance, research and development, medicine, nanotechnology and photonics. Employers regard a physics degree as a flexible and highly desirable university training.
