MSc Gravity, Particles and Fields

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc Full-time: 12 months

Masters Degree Description

Have you ever wondered how black holes form and what they look like on the inside? Do you want to know how the universe started or what is its fate? Have you ever imagined extra dimensions, new particles or new interactions?

This MSc will help you understand how the universe works on the largest and the smallest scales. This provides a solid foundation for advanced mathematics and the remarkable physics of:

  • general relativity
  • quantum gravity
  • black holes
  • differential geometry
  • particle physics
  • quantum field theory
  • quantum information
  • cosmology and the early universe

Entry Requirements

2:1 in physics, mathematical physics or mathematics

Joint degrees containing substantial elements of physics or mathematics will also be considered.

Previous knowledge of mechanics, quantum mechanics, special relativity and methods of mathematical physics (all as taught typically at BSc level) is required.
