Course summary
Our integrated Master's degree in Physics with Theoretical Physics provides a robust foundation of all of the fundamental aspects of modern and theoretical physics. You’ll explore topics including relativity, quantum mechanics, fields and waves, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics, with the theoretical physics modules equipping you with the advanced mathematical tools for pursuing complex theoretical physics problems. You’ll gain key analytical and practical skills such as problem-solving, creative thinking, team work, and data analysis, preparing you for a wide-range of future-facing careers.You'll join a friendly and supportive department, learning from internationally renowned scientists, including those with links to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and the LIGO gravitational wave observatory. In your first two years, you'll sample core physics including theoretical physics fields and develop experimental techniques through integrated lab work. Your third and fourth years involve applying your knowledge and skills to complex research or industry-inspired problems, enabling novel discovery research and providing crucial employability skills.
Key benefits- Award winning – six former staff and students in the department won Nobel Prizes.- Study at the historic Strand Campus where Maxwell discovered electromagnetic radiation, Franklin took photo 51 confirming DNA’s structure and Wheatstone developed the electric telegraph.- Central location gives you easy access to major libraries and many leading societies, including the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society and the Royal Institution.- Be part of a diverse student cohort - King’s is one of the leading Russell Group universities by proportion of female undergraduates on its Physics programmes.- 6th in the UK for producing the most employable graduates (Times Higher Education Graduate Employability rankings 2025).- 8th in UK for Physics & Astronomy (QS and Times Higher Education 2025).Please see our online prospectus for further details on this programme: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/physics-with-theoretical-physics-msci
