Are you are curious about how black holes behave? Are you are motivated to discover more about gravitation and quantum theory? This MSc will prepare you for a variety of research-intensive careers in mathematical physics.
This MSc provides an introduction to the physical principles and mathematical techniques of current research in:
general relativity
quantum gravity
particle physics
quantum field theory
quantum information
cosmology and the early universe
There is particular focus on gravity, reflecting one of Nottingham's research strengths.
You'll be taught by dedicated researchers from the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Physics and Astronomy. They are working in classical and quantum gravity, geometry and relativity, quantum information theory, cosmology and particle physics.
You will learn how to apply a number of tools of differential geometry to real scientific problems. This will help you build vital skills, enhancing your employability in a growing area. You'll benefit from a year-long introduction to quantum field theory. This will enable you to gather your own data and insights and learn to analyse and evaluate the results.
Develop transferable skills, such as:
logical reasoning and analysis
communicating with clarity
presenting your work
A highlight of the masters is the research dissertation which allows you to develop your interests and expertise in a specific topic.
The course will help you prepare if you are considering to study for PhD. Alternatively, many graduates take up roles in engineering, industry and technology. For those currently in employment, the course provides a route back to academic study.
