Physics

On the master programme you will continue working with the basic principles of physics. You will study such things as mathematical models and learn to work with experimental set-ups.

Physics is divided into theory and empiricism and you will often perform experiments where you study the link between theory and experiment.

You will be able to specialise in the various areas of physics. It could be particle physics, atomic physics, solid state physics, complex systems physics, quantum information technology or nuclear physics.

The programme will enable you to analyse physical issues and draw conclusions with the use of your knowledge of existing and accepted theory.

Teaching is a mixture of theory-based lessons or lectures, experimental laboratory work and project work.
