Our integrated Master's degree in Physics provides a robust foundation in both experimental and theoretical physics. You'll explore topics such as relativity, quantum mechanics, fields and waves, electromagnetism and nuclear physics. You’ll also be trained in 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 who deliver outstanding research-led and innovative teaching. In your first two years, you'll sample core 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 you to undertake novel discovery research and develop crucial employability skills.
In your fourth year, you can also choose from a huge array of modules, from the physics department, the mathematics department and Royal Holloway. You will then spend up to six months tackling a more advanced project of your choice, undertaking independent research and applying advanced knowledge from your four years of study.
Accreditation
All our physics degrees are accredited by the Institute of Physics. Graduates of accredited degrees are recognised by the IOP as meeting the academic requirements for membership and professional qualifications like Chartered Physicist (CPhys).
You also have the opportunity to transfer to the Study Abroad pathway and spend an additional year at a partner institution before returning to King’s to complete your studies. This depends on you reaching a certain grade average and being accepted by a partner university.
