Why this course?

Our Department of Physics is engaged with exciting projects at the forefront of Physics research, from teasing out the fundamental properties of the Universe to spearheading market-driven device-oriented interdisciplinary projects.

Our MRes Physics is an advanced research-focused Masters degree which you can complete in one year full-time or two years part-time. You’ll advance both your research skills through undertaking an original, extended research project supervised by our expert staff, and your knowledge of key physics topics through choosing from a selection of our taught modules. You'll be embedded into a research group and benefit from being part of an exciting research enterprise and can undertake your degree in any of our research groups-

You'll acquire skills enabling you to navigate a successful career in academia, research institutes or industrial research and development by training not only in paper and report writing but with an introduction to project proposal writing and review. You'll get detailed technical training in the methodology, instrumentation and data analysis relevant in your chosen field of research.

The programme would be of particular interest to you if you are considering PhD studies or a position focusing on Research & Development in a company or research institute in the future. After a successful MRes the department will be very happy to discuss the possibility of a PhD project with you.
