Overview
What you'll study
You’ll deepen your understanding of your specialism (either physics or astrophysics) in your first year by choosing modules from a wide variety of topics at the forefront of fundamental and applied physics research. This is a highly flexible programme that can be tailored to your specialist interests as you develop them - you will be able to choose modules in a variety of study areas offered by the School, including growth areas such as Machine Learning.
You can view the full list of modules available on each pathway below:
- Theoretical Physics
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Particle Physics
- Astrophysics
In your second year you’ll join one of our research groups - which may include working in a research laboratory such as CERN or RAL. We’ll put you in contact with a member of that research group to decide your precise research topic before you arrive. We have four main research centres:
- Particle Physics Research Centre
- Centre for Research in String Theory
- Centre for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics
- Astronomy Unit
This Physics (EuroMasters) MSc programme offered at Queen Mary University of London is available within the South East Physics university network (SEPnet) - and can be studied through any of the universities within the network, or through two of the universities. This means you can apply to spend your first or second year with Queen Mary, or to spend both years with us. The Institute where you spend your second year will award your EuroMasters degree. State your preferred combination in your application.
You’ll benefit from the combined expertise of SEPnet’s universities through video conferencing, SEPnet events and GRADnet, the largest physics postgraduate school in England.
You can view a series of videos created by the academics involved in the MSc programme that cover varied aspects of their reseach and how our research intersects with the teaching you'll receive and the modules you'll study.
