About

The Applied Physics programme offered by University of East Anglia is ideal for physics graduates ready to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. It also suits maths or engineering graduates looking to move into physics.

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.

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

  • 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
