Physics with Quantum Technology

The MPhys in Physics with Quantum Technology programme at the University of Exeter will give you a solid understanding of modern physics, while at the same time, it will develop your professional skills and will prepare you for your future career as a physicist. Our Physics with Quantum Technology focus on the core of mainstream physics, but also provide a balanced understanding of modern practical and technological applications of quantum physics. Our programmes, fully accredited by the Institute of Physics, are carefully designed around a skills development roadmap, that starts in day one, and continues across the whole degree. Stage by stage, you will develop your understanding of classical physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, solid state physics, and many other aspects of modern Physics. In parallel, and through our carefully designed skills development curriculum, you will become proficient at fundamental professional and highly employable skills like experimental physics, data analysis, critical thinking, problem solving, science communication, and scientific programming.
Our MPhys degrees give you a great opportunity to specialise on a topic related to one of the department's applied quantum Physics research areas. In Stages 3 and 4 you will work in a real-life collaborative open-ended astrophysics research project, supervised by one of the researchers in our department. You will have the chance to experience first-hand how modern research works, and will develop your skills as a professional researcher.
