From subatomic particles to entire galaxies, physics allows us to explore the big questions, while having a significant impact on our daily lives.



This course is for you if you’re an academic high-flyer. It offers you the exciting opportunity to work on a cutting-edge research project here at Sussex each summer and get funding to cover your living expenses during that time. 



At Sussex, you’ll explore fascinating subjects, learning from world-leading researchers. Their work includes developing next-generation quantum computers, investigating quantum gravity and black holes, searching for fundamental particles at CERN and studying our universe from the Big Bang to modern times. You could be working with researchers who are part of a team using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. You’ll join our experts and immerse yourself in world-class research.



You’ll use the latest equipment and state-of-the-art laboratories, and gain a broad understanding of the core principles of physics. Options enable you to specialise in areas you find most fascinating. You’ll apply this knowledge across a range of areas including:


  • astrophysics
  • quantum physics
  • particle physics
  • materials science
  • mathematical physics.

In your integrated Masters year, you’ll develop advanced physical skills through working with one of the expert research groups in our Department. 



Our department is a friendly hive of activity. You’ll join a close-knit community. Our open-door policy means that whatever you need, we’ll be there to support you.



During your research placement and integrated Masters year, you’ll develop new research skills – particularly relevant if you're interested in going on to a research career at universities or in industry.
