The MSc by Research in Theoretical Physics allows students to undertake a year long individual programme of personally and professionally enriching research.
Students' theoretical physics research project will be shaped by participation in activities such as seminars, workshops, laboratory activity and field work, as well as their involvement in one of Swansea's established research groups.
While this research programme usually finishes after a year, it can be used to progress to the second year of a PhD degree in the appropriate circumstances.
Over 80% of Swansea's research outputs from experimental and theoretical groups were judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent (REF 2014-2021).
Swansea has three main research groups.
The Atomic, Molecular and Quantum Physics Group (AMQP) is supported by grants from EPSRC, the EU, The Royal Society, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and various industrial and government sources.
