About this course
MPhys in Physics with Quantum Technology, a physics degree focused on the theoretical and practical applications of modern quantum systems. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, and Global & Comparative Perspective. Students complete a collaborative research project linked to departmental research groups during the final year. The first year establishes core foundations through modules such as Physics of Everyday Life, Mathematics Skills, Computational Data Analysis, and Experimental Physics. The second year builds upon this knowledge with modules including From Fields to Quanta, Mathematics for Physicists, and Experimental Physics II, alongside optional choices such as Scientific Programming in C and Observing the Universe. The third year advances into specialised topics featuring Nuclear and High Energy Particle Physics, Methods of Theoretical Physics, States of Matter, and Introduction to Quantum Technology, complemented by a Project and Dissertation. Optional modules in the later stages allow students to explore areas like electromagnetism, biophysics, and astrophysics.
