Overview

Broaden your physics knowledge and skills, rather than specialising straight away. Alongside advanced study, you’ll explore physics in a range of settings, building a flexible skillset for your future.

A year-long research project gives you the chance to investigate a cutting-edge topic matched to your interests and UEA’s expertise. With one-to-one academic supervision, you’ll develop confidence, independence, and valuable transferable skills.

You’ll also choose from a wide range of optional modules, many linking physics with other disciplines. This means you can shape your MSc around your background, ambitions, and future goals.

Careers

With an Applied Physics degree offered by University of East Anglia, you could launch a career as a:

PhD Researcher: Continue into doctoral study in physics or a related scientific field

Healthcare Scientist: Apply scientific expertise in NHS laboratories, imaging, or clinical technology settings

Research Scientist: Conduct research in industry, technology, or applied science organisations

Operational Research Analyst: Use data and modelling to improve organisational decisions and efficiency

Science Journalist: Communicate scientific discoveries to public audiences through media and publishing

You'll graduate with a highly competitive skill set and a broad understanding of physics-related careers, helping you secure a rewarding PhD position or another research-related role. Your skills will also be transferrable to a range of other sectors, such as business, finance, engineering, or teaching.
