From the fundamental constituents that form the building blocks of the universe to the study of the vast structures that populate it, Durham’s MSc in Particles, Strings and Cosmology explores some of the most important questions in science today. Developed and delivered by experts in the field, you will have the opportunity to work with internationally recognised researchers as you explore advanced theories and emerging techniques in these closely related areas. This 12-month taught MSc is an ideal choice if you achieved a good first degree in either physics or a mathematics degree which included modules in quantum mechanics and relativity.<br/><br/>You will receive a thorough training in theoretical high-energy physics through a combination of structured lectures and individual supervision with much of your learning shaped by the research taking place in the Centre for Particle Theory – a combined research group in the mathematics and physics departments that forms one of the largest and most highly regarded particle theory groups in the UK.<br/><br/>The course comprises a series of lecture-based modules covering areas from astroparticle physics to superstring theory. You will also complete a dissertation on a topic of current research, prepared under the guidance of a supervisor with expertise in the specific area.<br/><br/>The MSc is a rigorous course that offers a springboard for a PhD in Theoretical Particle Physics within the Centre for Particle Theory. By the end of the course, we aim to develop highly specialised skills that will equip you with the knowledge to understand advanced theoretical physics, the tools to solve complex problems and the confidence to draw your own conclusions.
