Prospective students

MSc in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces

The course is intended to bridge the gap between undergraduate work and the research frontier in theoretical physics. For those with a 3- or 4-year undergraduate degree, it is often the best route to a PhD programme.

PhD programme

A PhD degree in the Theoretical Physics Group enables outstanding students to pursue fundamental research at the forefront of theoretical physics. Successful applicants typically have a 4-year undergraduate degree and/or a relevant Masters degree.
