Our Department of Physics is engaged with exciting projects at the forefront of Physics research, from teasing out the fundamental properties of the Universe to spearheading market-driven device-oriented interdisciplinary projects.
Our MRes Physics is an advanced research-focused Masters degree which you can complete in one year full-time or two years part-time. You’ll advance both your research skills through undertaking an original, extended research project supervised by our expert staff, and your knowledge of key physics topics through choosing from a selection of our taught modules. You'll be embedded into a research group and benefit from being part of an exciting research enterprise. You can undertake your degree in any of our four research divisions. Visit Nanoscience, Optics, Plasmas or Institute of Photonics to find out more about the world leading research our academics are involved in. This includes:
fundamental and applied cold atom physics
quantum simulation and quantum technologies
plasma physics and advanced microwave sources
laser-plasma interaction and laser-based particle acceleration
First-class or upper second-class (2:1) UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in physics or a related subject, from a recognised educational establishment.
Our MRes prepares you to progress to research-heavy and research and development roles in industry, academia, and, in particular, to progress to a PhD. The founder of the quantum training and services company QURECA used a MRes in Physics at Strathclyde to transfer from aerospace engineering to a PhD in quantum physics and then to being an entrepreneur in the evolving quantum industry. The University Careers Service can help you with everything from writing your CV to interview preparation.
