Our Physics MSc will deepen your understanding of the Universe through topics at the cutting edge of physics research. You’ll have the opportunity to explore semiconductor physics and technology, quantum mechanics, particle physics, general relativity, and soft matter and biological physics.You’ll gain expertise that can be applied to some of the biggest challenges in science and technology, by developing your technical skills and experience. You’ll also learn how specialist knowledge, such as computer programming and data analysis, can be applied in the computing, electronics and telecommunications industries.The biggest part of your Physics MSc will be your research project. You’ll apply the knowledge and skills you’ve developed to research an important issue or problem in Physics. This will involve reviewing research literature, designing and conducting research using qualitative and quantitative research techniques, handling and analysing data, and reporting findings both verbally and in writing. Topics for your research project could include:Using tau leptons in collider experiments to search for new physicsCharacterising ultra-fast imaging photon sensors for neutrino experimentsDesign a masterclass for high-school students using ATLAS open dataNano antennas - an emerging technology for light manipulation at the nanoscalePerovskites and organic semiconductor for photovoltaics3D scale models of solar-cell power towers in complex urban environments
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in Physics or any degree where Physics is a named component, with relevant modules.
