Our research lies at the forefront of fundamental physics - ranging from quantum information processing, quantum optics and cold atom physics through a programme of top-rated particle physics experiments to the theoretical understanding of space, time, and matter.
You will be guided and supervised through your research project by experts in their fields. You’ll work in a department with a truly international character, with collaborations in Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
For a PhD, your research work makes a substantial original contribution to knowledge or understanding in your chosen field.
Degree requirements: You’re normally expected to have a Merit (an average of 60% overall) in a Master’s degree OR an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree. Subject-specific requirements: Your qualification should be in physics although we do accept applications from students who have studied in different subject areas such as mathematical physics, chemical physics, or materials science. You may also be considered for the degree if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing.
