Our Theoretical Physics MSc is an intensive, research-led course. You will examine foundational topics in theoretical and mathematical physics such as general relativity and quantum field theory, before exploring advanced topics such as string theory and supersymmetry. You will be exposed to a wide range of research techniques and have the opportunity to conduct and write up your own project.
Many of our graduates go on to pursue PhD studies in theoretical physics at various universities in the United Kingdom and abroad. This includes students progressing with our group here at Kings, for which the MSc is particularly well tailored.
Our graduates also take up full-time employment in various industries that require good mathematical/computer knowledge. Recent employers of our graduates have included the Algerian Space Agency, FRM Capital Advisors and Lloyds Banking Group.
Standard requirements: A minimum 2:1 undergraduate Bachelors (honours) degree. If you have a lower degree classification, or a degree in an unrelated subject, your application may be considered if you can demonstrate significant relevant work experience, or offer a related graduate qualification (such as a Masters or PGDip).
Programme-Specific Requirements: Bachelors degree with 2:1 honours in Physics or Maths. Alternatively, a 2:1 in a degree subject related to Maths will be considered on a case by case basis.
