Location of Imperial College London
The Theoretical Physics Group runs one of UK's leading MSc courses in theoretical physics. It covers all aspects of fundamental physics, from quantum field theory and string theory to cosmology and quantum gravity, and brings students to the frontiers of current research in these areas.
The course is designed to give a solid foundation for PhD studies in theoretical physics, and the skills it provides can also be valuable for other careers. It can be taken immediately after an undergraduate degree, and it is also suitable for those wishing to return to physics after working in other fields.
This MSc course intends to bridge the gap between an undergraduate course in physics or mathematics and the research frontier in fundamental theoretical physics. The course lasts one calendar year full-time (or two years part-time). It begins in October, with formal coursework ending by June and project work occupying the summer vacation.
The lecture modules consist of three compulsory introductory modules, which are taken by all students, and four more advanced optional modules. You may also select up to two advanced undergraduate modules among their four optional module selections.
Contents
The theoretical physics group is internationally recognised for its contribution to our understanding of the unification of fundamental forces, the early universe, quantum gravity, supersymmetry, string theory, and many other aspects of quantum field theory.
