Integrated Master of Science - Physics with Theoretical Physics (F340)

The Physics with Theoretical Physics program offers a wide range of optional modules, allowing students to explore various areas of physics and specialize in their preferred subjects. Students have the opportunity to study diverse topics such as cosmology, nanoscience, and medical imaging, learning from esteemed experts in these fields. Additionally, the program offers flexibility for students to transfer between different physics courses after their first year.

The teaching staff of this program share their passion for physics with aspiring scientists worldwide through the popular Sixty Symbols YouTube channel. The MSc course, which is centered around the students, employs innovative teaching methods and minimizes the reliance on exams in the final year.

The program encourages students to share their fascination with physics with the wider community through an outreach program. This initiative helps students develop valuable skills such as organization, communication, and teamwork. Furthermore, the program boasts an active student society called Physic, which organizes social events throughout the year. Additionally, a mentoring scheme is in place to assist new students in connecting with more experienced physics students, facilitating their transition into university life.

The Physics with Theoretical Physics MSc course focuses on the advanced theoretical techniques and applications of modern physics. Practical study in the later years of the program is replaced by in-depth mathematical study. Core physics modules are also included to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of this exciting subject. Optional modules covering topics ranging from nanoscience to astronomy allow students to specialize in their area of interest.

The unique fourth year of the program is designed to enhance students' professional and transferrable skills through immersive and student-centered learning. Students will concentrate on fewer, but more specialized, areas of study and complete a year-long research project. Under the guidance of experienced staff, students will benefit from a variety of learning styles, including group work, projects, seminar delivery, and independent learning.
