Your analytical and data interpretation expertise and problem-solving ability will continue to expand through the years and culminate in tackling a project in one of the department’s research groups.

Studying our MPhys Physics, you'll be immersed in a curriculum designed to meet the demands of modern research and industry. You'll be able to shape your journey by choosing from topics like mathematical physics, computational physics and experimental techniques.

And, in the final two years, you’ll have the freedom to tailor your studies to a specific area of interest and in delve into cutting-edge research areas where the University of Strathclyde is world-leading such as quantum optics, plasma physics, atomic and molecular physics, nanoscience and photonics.

By selecting focused modules and undertaking a long-term research project in your chosen field, you’ll graduate not just with knowledge—but with a clear professional identity as a physicist ready to make an impact.
