MSc Physics by Research
- One year MSc Available in any research area
- 100% extended research project
Many students take this degree in order to get a taste of research without an initial commitment to a three-year PhD. However approximately 50 per cent follow on with a PhD. The MSc in Physics Research may also be taken by those qualified to BSc level who desire to progress to doctoral studies.
Although MSc by Research is available in any research area we are also offering a one year
