Physics Msci (Hon) Msci (Hon) Msci (Hon)

This is an integrated four-year undergraduate Masters course, designed to give you a more in-depth and broader understanding of Physics. If you want to be at the forefront of human knowledge, we’ll teach you about the latest advances in physics. You’ll be part of our cutting-edge research teams during your final year project when you will be attempting to discover something that no one has ever understood before.<br/><br/>Your course will start with the fundamentals of physics before you have the freedom to decide your own direction with a choice of specialist modules supported by our subject experts. We’ll focus on building your insight and skills, and this course can be your springboard into an academic or research and development career.<br/><br/>**Why choose this course?**<br/><br/><br/>- You’ll learn in inspiring environments. We have a custom-built, on-campus observatory recognised by the International Astronomical Union, a radio telescope, a CT scanner, new microscopes, MRI scanners, a scanning tunnelling microscope and an ionising radiation laboratory. This ensures that you get the practical experience you need to pursue a successful career.<br/><br/><br/>- You’ll study innovative, accredited courses. Our pioneering courses and research are carried out in close collaboration with university and industry partners worldwide, giving our students skills and knowledge which are highly relevant to the needs of industry. Our undergraduate MSci and BSc physics courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), which will help you to achieve Chartered Physicist status sooner.<br/><br/><br/>- You’ll help to deliver research with impact. Our physics staff contribute to research activity in several areas, including Superhydrophobic Surfaces, Medical Resonance Imaging, Art Conservation and Space Weather. Every year approximately ten of our students undertake paid summer placements in these research groups, giving them hands-on experience in cutting-edge research groups. NTU has recently been awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for research – the highest national achievement.<br/><br/><br/>- You’ll have the opportunity to get experience. Our courses offer the opportunity to apply for a placement in the UK or abroad, giving you the real-life experience employers are looking for. Recent year-long placements have occurred at CERN, E.ON, The Netherlands Forensic Institute and Diamond Light Source. Our research groups offer paid summer placements, where you get hands-on research experience. Our students have also undertaken paid summer placements in local secondary schools and at British Antarctic Survey.<br/>
