About our programmes
Physics offers a range of postgraduate study options at MSc by Thesis and PhD level, both full and part-time.
Our research broadly covers the following areas:
- Lasers and their applications
- Theory of condensed matter
- Experimental solid-state physics
- Astrophysics and gravitation
Research is funded from a range of sources, including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Royal Society, as well as government and industrial establishments. Our work also benefits from strong interdisciplinary links within the university and with other groups at the national and the international level.
We have well-established links with a number of industrial companies and research centres with whom we conduct collaborative research.
