Course summary

Our strong collaborations with UK and international institutions contribute to an excellent environment for top quality research.We cover a wide range of topics, including solar and plasma physics, cosmology and radio astronomy. Much of our research in solar physics concentrates on the theory, diagnostics and observation of solar flares, complementing our work in more general plasma theory and atmospheric plasmas.What could you do if you had a camera so fast that is can freeze light in motion Or a quantum sensing device that can measure the path taken by a single photon with a precision of a single atom We are developing the technologies that will enable new forms of imaging with applications ranging from seeing behind and through walls to quantum microscopy. We conduct research into new imaging techniques at optical and radio-frequency wavelengths and work closely with collaborators in industry, biology and medicine to apply these techniques in real-world applications. Our main research fields are computational imaging, spectral imaging and biomedical imaging, particularly in the retina. You will be part of a Graduate School which provides the highest level of support to its students. The overall aim of our Graduate School is to provide a world-leading environment for students which is intellectually stimulating, encourages them to contribute to culture, society and the economy and enables them to become leaders in a global environment. We have a diverse community of over 750 students from more than 50 countries who work in innovative and transformative disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields. An important part of our work is to bring our students together and to ensure they consider themselves an important part of the University’s academic community.Duration: 2-3 years full-time 3-4 years part-time
