About

The Physics (by research) course from University of York is a one-year programme which allows you to pursue your research interests.

Visit the official programme website for more information

Overview

Key Features

Unlike a conventional taught Masters course, you work full-time on your own research project. You'll be supported with a small number of taught modules to develop your knowledge and practical skills.

You'll have 12 months to experiment and collect data, and a further three months (if required) to write your thesis.

The Physics (by research) course from University of York is ideal if:

  • You would like to study for a research degree without the three or four year commitment to a PhD degree
  • You would like to study a further qualification to prepare you for PhD study
  • You are an overseas student requiring an interim qualification after 12 to 15 months' study
