Course content

This course is open to both physicists and BSc graduates from mathematics, chemistry or engineering disciplines who are looking to deepen their knowledge of physics and pursue a research career within a university, industrial or national research laboratory.

This course is a stream of our MSc in Physics and covers three core sections:

• quantum optics
• quantum information
• quantum systems

You will complete a three-month, full-time project on quantum dynamics, usually with one of our academic research groups.

Upon graduating, you will have:

• acquired an understanding of selected areas of physics at the frontiers of knowledge, beyond the undergraduate level
• extended your knowledge of advanced mathematical methods
• received training in research skills and methodology
• experienced undertaking a major, individual, physics-related project and reporting the results in a full scientific report and oral and poster presentation
• developed your communication skills, both written and oral, to specialised and non-specialised audiences
• undertaken an intellectually challenging and stimulating degree programme in quantum dynamics
• been equipped for doctoral research in atomic physics, quantum photonics, quantum information, or in general quantum physics
