Masters Degrees in Physics
and Related Areas
2007
Introduction
This booklet has been produced to help graduate students who are seeking information on postgraduate but pre-doctoral courses in physics and cognate
subjects in the United Kingdom and The Republic of Ireland. Most courses listed are at taught Masters level, a few are by research only, and many have
postgraduate diploma and/or postgraduate certificate versions. The main designations listed are: MSc, MA, MRes, PgDip and PgCert.
This information has been compiled primarily from data provided by the departments themselves; where such information was not provided, the
department’s website was consulted. Note, however, that you are strongly advised to contact the relevant department for the most up-to-date information
because it can change quite frequently. This list is not exhaustive.
Length of courses
Entries in this column generally contain a number followed by a letter. These indicate a course’s duration and its mode of study, e.g., 1F = 1-year full-time,
and 2-5P = 2-5 years part-time.
Presentation
Courses are divided into four major geographical territories: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland & The Republic of Ireland. Within these
regions, courses are listed by university in alphabetical order, apart from the institutions of the University of London which are grouped together, as are the
universities at Central Lancashire and Lancaster.
Studentships and bursaries
Information has been included on the availability of studentships where known. A blank in the column does not necessarily imply that funding is not
available. Further information on studentships and bursaries can be obtained from the relevant departments and from the following organisations featured
in the courses list:
Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB); http://www.ahrb.ac.uk

Entry requirements
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
1st or 2nd Class Honours degree in Physics or related discipline
Honours degree in Physics or related discipline where no particular class of honours is specified
3rd Class Honours degree in Physics or a related discipline may be accepted
Pass/ordinary degree in Physics or a related discipline may be accepted
Certain professional qualifications may be acceptable
Relevant experience preferred or specified
Qualifying examination/essays/oral test specified
Note 1
In certain cases, departments may specify combinations e.g. C+F.
Note 2
Occasionally, departments are prepared to accept qualifications which are “equivalent” to the degree specified in the table. Candidates should contact the department
concerned if they are in any doubt.
Note 3
“Related discipline” normally refers to disciplines such as mathematics, chemistry, geology, electrical/electronic/chemical/mechanical engineering, biology, medical science,
metallurgy, as appropriate to the degree concerned.
Note 4
Candidates holding certain overseas awards may be required to sit a qualifying examination. They may also need to satisfy the university of their proficiency in English, for
example, by presenting a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) certificate or a similar qualification, i.e. International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
At some universities, overseas students, of good potential but lacking in certain areas of necessary background, may be admitted to a preliminary year of training in the first
instance.
Note 5
Some departments qualify Requirement A by requiring at least an Upper Second (2i) as an entry qualification. Please confirm with the appropriate department.
