About this course
Physics is simply the study of nature. It aspires to give us answers to the questions that cry out for explanation. Our MSc in Physics will allow you to explore and expand our understanding of the world, equipping you to address the challenges that our society faces.
Our Department of Physics is home to inspirational research activity and excellent teaching. Our research spans the breadth of modern physics and is supported by advanced facilities.
We collaborate with a variety of partners across the academic, public and industry communities, including the National Physical Laboratory.
There may be opportunities to acquire valuable European experience by working or conducting research abroad during your degree or shortly afterwards. It is possible to do this in the summer period with an Erasmus+ grant working on your dissertation or as a recent graduate. In order to qualify your Erasmus+ traineeship must be a minimum of two months.
A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in either Chemistry, Electronic Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Physics, or a recognised equivalent international qualification. We'll also consider relevant work experience if you don't meet these requirements.
