The University of Glasgow’s School of Physics and Astronomy is ranked 2nd in Scotland (Complete University Guide 2016). The School plays a leading role in the exploitation of data from the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator at CERN. With a 93% overall student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2014 the School of Physics and Astronomy combines both teaching excellence and a supportive learning environment. The School of Physics & Astronomy hosts the Kelvin Nanocharacterisation Centre, which houses state-of-the-art instrumentation for studying materials at the nanoscale or below. You will gain the theoretical, experimental and computational skills necessary to analyse and solve a range of advanced physics problems relevant to the theme of this global challenge, providing an excellent foundation for a career of scientific leadership in academia or industry. You will develop transferable skills that will improve your career prospects, such as project management, team-working, advanced data analysis, problem-solving, critical evaluation of scientific literature, advanced laboratory and computing skills, and how to effectively communicate with different audiences. You will benefit from direct contact with our group of international experts who will teach you cutting-edge physics and supervise your projects. This programme has a September and January intake*. *For suitably qualified candidates
