Physics (EuroMasters) MSc

This EuroMasters MSc is a unique programme that offers you unparalleled freedom and opportunity in your studies. You’ll choose from two programme pathways – Physics and Astrophysics – and 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.

• Unparalleled choice of modules, including some from our School of Mathematics
• Compressed fee structure, so you pay for only nine months study per academic year
• Eligible for membership of the Royal Astronomical Society and use of their facilities
• 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

Facilities

• Leading research infrastructure at CERN and links with the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories
• Mission data from Queen Mary collaborations such as Cassini, CLUSTER and the VISTA telescope
• Our Astronomical Observatory
• Super-fast research networks and worldwide grid computing facilities, such as MidPlus and GridPP
• Experimental facilities, such as clean rooms, workshops and laboratories

Career paths

This MSc is an excellent preparation for further doctoral-level study and research.

The course is also recognised by European employers and is accepted by the European Credit Transfer Accumulation System (ECTS) – so you can take up a career in physics or study for a PhD in many different countries. ECTS has been adopted by most of the countries in the European Higher Education Area as the national credit system and is increasingly used elsewhere.

Recent graduates of our MSc programmes have gone on to PhD studies and positions such as:

• Business and data analyst
• Consultant
• Data scientist
• Programming analyst.
