Physics

Overview Our flagship Physics Masters course is a highly flexible programme. You can study physics in more depth, either for your own interest or as a path to a career as a professional scientist.

Besides the core modules, we offer a wide variety of optional modules to help you shape your degree path. Most of our teaching is in small classes. You’ll study different subjects, like astrophysics, quantum physics, geophysics, fluid mechanics, and computing. We have friendly and approachable staff who have time for you.

In both the third and fourth years, you'll undertake projects in your desired direction. Many students use their projects to discover the research direction of our staff. Others may have their own ideas they want to pursue. You can also work on a medical physics project in collaboration with the hospital next to campus. The fourth-year project can relate to the third-year one or be on a new topic.

Your degree in Physics will allow you to explore a wide range of subjects, including astrophysics, quantum physics, geophysics, fluid mechanics, and computing. You'll be using our top-class facilities and high-tech equipment.

During our physics course, you’ll learn many important skills, such as math, communication, and teamwork. These skills will help you become a scientist or work in different jobs when you graduate. You’ll also get good at things like research, solving tricky problems, and computing, which are skills that employers really like. So, when you finish the course, you’ll be a highly employable graduate.
