Do you want to contribute to an area of cutting-edge research in an awe-inspiring subject? Do you want to delve deeper into advanced topics in physics? Develop valuable new knowledge and skills? Prepare for a research career, or embark on a completely new path? Whatever your motivation, a postgraduate degree from the School of Physics and Astronomy can help you achieve your ambitions.
The MSc Physics: Condensed Matter Physics programme is one of three different pathways to an MSc in physics that also includes Particle Physics and Theoretical Physics. The School of Physics and Astronomy also offers an MSc in Astrophysics and a PGCert in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Programme outcomes
The aim of the programme is to deepen your understanding of contemporary condensed matter and materials physics, covering advanced concepts and techniques, leaving you well prepared for further doctoral level study and research. The programme will also enable you to develop skills transferable to a wide range of other careers.
This programme will:
Teach you the fundamental laws and physical principles, along with their applications, in your chosen area of physics.
Introduce you to research methodology, and how to manage your own research, making use of journal articles and other primary sources.
Allow you to communicate complex scientific ideas, concisely, accurately and informatively.
Instruct you how to use mathematical analysis to model physical behaviour and interpret the mathematical descriptions of physical phenomena.

Structure
The MSc Physics: Condensed Matter Physics is available to study full-time over one year.
The programme consists of eight taught and examined modules during the first two semesters and a substantial research project undertaken in the second and third semesters within the condensed matter and materials physics research group at the School of Physics and Astronomy.
Students will take 120 credits of taught modules and a 60 credit research project. You will be able to take modules from University College London, King's College London or Royal Holloway University of London, as per the list of approved modules.
MSc Physics (Condensed Matter Physics)Semester A
- Physics at the nanoscale
