Students develop insights into the techniques used in current projects in Physics, and gain in-depth experience of a particular specialised research area, through project work as a member of a research team. The course provides the professional skills necessary to play a meaningful role in industrial or academic life.
This MSc is designed for graduates with a background in physics, astrophysics or a related discipline who want to develop their knowledge and skills for a career in physics and related fields. It provides a strong foundation for those seeking to pursue advanced research, including progression to a PhD.
Physics-based careers embrace a broad range of areas, e.g. space science and technology, information technology, Large Data science in commerce and industry, engineering, finance, research and development, medicine, nanotechnology and photonics. Employers regard a physics degree as a flexible and highly desirable university training.
A Masters degree in Physics is highly regarded by employers. Students gain a deep understanding of both basic phenomena underpinning a range of technologies with huge potential for future development, e.g. quantum information, as well as direct knowledge of cutting-edge technologies likely to play a major role in short to medium term industrial development while addressing key societal challenges such as energy supply or water sanitisation.
Graduates from this course progress into a wide range of sectors, including IT, technology and telecoms, scientific research, banking, and further academic research in Higher Education. Employers have included BNP Paribas, British Telecom, Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Goldman Sachs.
