About the course

The MPhys allows you to study physics in greater depth and breadth than our BSc. It’s particularly recommended if you’re interested in pursuing research in industry, government or academia, or if you want to go on to postgraduate study. During the course you’ll study more advanced topics such as atmospheric physics, medical physics and computational fluid dynamics. You’ll also undertake a large research project with one of our research centres. We have an innovative strand of industrial projects, supported by the Institute of Physics, that gives you direct experience of working in industrial research. You’ll also have the option of studying abroad or spending a year in industry or at a research institution.

　　With an MPhys you’ll be ideally placed to go on to a career in industrial or scientific research. You could also remain in academia on a PhD programme. Equally, your high level of numeracy, plus your ability to think critically and communicate complex ideas will be prized by employers in areas as diverse as financial services, information technology and teaching.
