An integrated masters is an undergraduate degree that combines undergraduate and postgraduate study. Our Master of Physics (MPhys), provisionally accredited by the IOP (Institute of Physics), develops your knowledge and skills to explore the smallest and largest scales of the Universe. You’ll learn to objectively and quantitatively describe, analyse, test, and explain phenomena in our physical world and the wider Universe, applying experimental, observational and numerical methods and developing mathematical and programming skills. Choose a start that suits your knowledge and understanding, pick a route that meets your interests, and conclude with a project on physics, astrophysics or space science.
