This programme benefits from teaching across the universities of the South East Phsyics Network (SEPnet), with a strong emphasis on research-based learning. Delivered accross two academic years with an extended project in the second year, this programme provides excellent training in higher level academic research.
You will deepen your understanding of a chosen branch of contemporary physics or astrophysics, chosing a speciality from a wide variety of themes at the forefront of both fundamental and applied physics research. The programme consists of taught modules and an in-depth research project, leaving you well prepared for further doctoral-level study and research. There are two pathways in the programme: Physics and Astrophysics.
This programme will:
enable you to develop skills transferable to a wide range of other careers
allow you to gain a deep understanding of your chosen area through the combination of advanced taught programmes and an extended research project
provide excelent training in research skills
enable extended contact between you and your academic porject supervisor
give you the option to study at other South East Physics Network (SEPnet) universities
provide 120 ECTS credits, which will allow you to enter doctoral level programmes in other EU countries.
Further reasons to chose the Euromaster's MSc
This programme is only available within partner universities in the South East Physics network (SEPnet). Queen Mary is the largest partner in this network, with a broad range of fundamental physics research centres.
The SEPnet consortium institutions each offer programmes, which are mutually compatible. This allows you to have the possibility of transferring to a partner institution for the second year (for more information, see

Structure
The Euromaster's MSc is available in two pathways, Physics and Astrophysics. The structure of the two programmes is outlined below. The programme is delivered over two academic years, with a substantial research project completed in the second year. Students choosing to leave the programme after Year One may be awarded the PGDip Physics (Euromaster's).
Astrophysics pathway Year OneTaught modules (worth Queen Mary 15 credits each) to a total of 120 Queen Mary credits. Details about the MSc Astrophysics modules are listed on the Astronomy taught modules page.
Modules from the above list may be, exceptionally, substituted with suitable level 7 modules from the School of Mathematical Sciences, the School of Physics and Astronomy or the intercollegiate programme, at the discretion of the Programme Tutor.
Year TwoA total of 120 Queen Mary credits comprising:
SPA7021 ¿Research Methods for Physics EuroMasters (30 credits)
SPA7014 Physics (Euromasters) Project (90 credits)
An agreed combination of taught modules (worth Queen Mary 15 credits each) to a total of 120 Queen Mary credits. A complete list of modules available to students can be found in the intercollegiate programme module directory.
Modules listed in the directory may be, exceptionally, substituted with suitable level 7 modules from the School of Mathematical Sciences or School of Physics and Astronomy, at the discretion of the Programme Tutor.
Year TwoThe second year of the EuroMasters (Physics pathway) involves a year-long research project within one of the school's research groups, counting for 120 Queen Mary credits.
A total of 120 Queen Mary credits comprising:
PHY7021 Advanced Research Methods (30 credits)
PHY7014 Physics (Euromasters) Project (90 credits)
On your application form for the course you should indicate which subject area you are interested in studying and we will put you in contact with a member of that research group to decide the precise project topic before you arrive. There are three main research areas, organised into Centres:
The Particle Physics Research Centre
The Centre for Research in String Theory
The Centre for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics.
It may also be possible to spend the second year in a research laboratory such as CERN or RAL.
Our partner Institutes in the Euromasters programme will advertise their own first year courses and second year research projects and you should visit their web sites, linked below, to find out more. The Institute where you spend the second year will award the EuroMasters degree. You are welcome to apply to us here in Queen Mary whether you wish to spend the first or second year in Queen Mary or you can apply to one of our partner Institutes stating that you wish to spend the second year in Queen Mary.
