Overview

Put your passion for physics into practice, develop your research skills and deepen your knowledge on this MPhys (Hons) Physics integrated Master's degree course.

You'll further your understanding of all things physics, from quantum theory to cosmology. When you finish the course you can apply what you’ve learned in roles across various industries or go on to do a PhD.

As a supporter of the Institute of Physics Project Juno, we're committed to addressing the under-representation of women in physics and gender equality in higher education and research.

What you'll experience

On this course you'll:

• Expand your knowledge of all aspects of physics, from the minutiae of quantum physics to the expanse of cosmology
• Investigate new technologies and theories alongside the University's research teams
• Use specialist scientific software, equipment and facilities to monitor and analyse the weather, pollutants and radiation levels
• Get to grips with exciting technologies including Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM)
• Use LabVIEW software – the same software CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) use to run the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator
• Visit companies such as BAE Systems, Airbus, QinetiQ and Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust
• Attend a programme of guest lectures hosted by experts including speakers from the medical physics department at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth
• Study at a university where physics research was ranked in the top 10 nationally for quality of research outputs in the latest Government-backed REF (Research Excellence Framework)
