Course summary

This EuroMasters is a unique MSc programme that offers you unparalleled freedom and opportunity in your studies. You'll be able to choose between different streams and tailor your MSc degree, according to your interests. We offer the following streams (please click on each for a list of modules).

  • Theoretical Physics
  • Particle Physics
  • Astrophysics
We also offer EuroMasters elective modules without studying for any particular stream.
  • Unparalleled choice of modules, including some from our School of Mathematics
  • Compressed fee structure, so you pay for only nine months of study per academic year
  • You have a free choice of modules in your first year before going on to a year of research, working with leading physicists on pioneering projects
  • Eligible for membership of the Royal Astronomical Society and use of their facilities (on the Astronomy pathway)
  • Benefit from our SEPnet consortium – the combined expertise of some of the world’s leading physics departments
  • Make valuable contacts in world-class research institutions and work with leaders in the field
What you'll study You’ll deepen your understanding of your specialism (either physics, astrophysics, theoretical physics or particle physics) in your first year by choosing modules from a wide variety of topics at the forefront of fundamental and applied physics research. This is a highly flexible programme that can be tailored to your specialist interests as you develop them - you will be able to choose modules in a variety of study areas offered by the School, including growth areas such as Machine Learning. You can choose to study modules available on each pathway below:
  • Theoretical Physics
  • Particle Physics
  • Astrophysics
In your second year, you’ll join one of our research groups - which may include working in a research laboratory such as CERN or RAL. We’ll put you in contact with a member of that research group to decide your precise research topic before you arrive. We have four main research centres:
  • Centre for Theoretical Physics
  • Particle Physics Research Centre
  • Astronomy Unit
  • Centre for Condensed Matter Physics
This programme is available within the South East Physics University network (SEPnet) - and can be studied through any of the universities within the network, or through two of the universities. This means you can apply to spend your first or second year with Queen Mary or to spend both years with us. The Institute where you spend your second year will award your EuroMasters degree. State your preferred combination in your application. You’ll benefit from the combined expertise of SEPnet’s universities through SEPnet events and GRADnet, the largest physics postgraduate school in England. You can view a series of videos created by the academics involved in the MSc programme that cover varied aspects of their research and how our research intersects with the teaching you'll receive and the modules you'll study.
