Gain experience in a wide range of topics taught across the University of London at a high level of specialisation. Topics include nanotechnology, biophysics, photonics, cosmology and particle physics. Consists of taught components plus a very in-depth research project linked to areas of cutting edge research in the given field. KEY BENEFITS * The programme provides a wide range of background knowledge and generic and transferable research skills. * Students will gain real experience of research in current areas of interest in Physics and related disciplines. * A major project provides the opportunity to specialise in experimental or computational biophysics and nantotechnology research, or theoretical particle physics and cosmology. * Success in the programme prepares students for subsequent PhD studies or for appointments in academic, industrial and public-sector research.

Many students go on to do a PhD in Physics, work in scientific research, teaching or work in the financial sector.
