MSc in Physics (EuroMasters) 120 ECTS Credits
Choose from six British universities. Earn a degree recognised by European employers. Make valuable contacts in world class research. Apply now for October 2010.
The MSc in Physics (EuroMasters) is fully compatible with the European Credit Transfer Accumulation System, and qualifies graduates to pursue a career in Physics or a PhD upon completion. Designed similarly to the Erasmus and Socrates programmes, it attracts international students as well as UK entrants.
This is an opportunity to collaborate with physics research groups and partner institutions in both the UK and Europe. Students benefit from consortium led events as well as state of the art video conferencing. With some of the leading physics departments in the world, all the universities have their own accolades in both urban and countryside locations, with a wide choice of accommodation options, sporting facilities, international student organisations and careers services. South East England, with its close connections to continental Europe by air, Eurotunnel, and cross channel ferries, is an ideal environment for international students.

Flexibility to Create a Tailored Package
Students can enroll at their choice of six universities in the SEPnet consortium, with the option of a 2nd year transfer to one of the partner universities, or to a research institution in Europe or the UK.
Year One - 60 ECTS credits
The first year of the course consists of high level taught courses where students choose from a range of options including specialized research courses.
Year Two - 60 ECTS credits
During the second year, students can join world class research groups based at a SEPnet university or a partner institution. The areas of research available are :
Theoretical and Experimental Particle Physics, Photonics, Astronomy, Nano-Technology, Quantum Matter, Theoretical and Condensed Matter, Applied Optics, Forensic Imaging, Functional Materials, Atomic and Molecular Physics, String Theory, Accelerator Science, Nuclear and Radiation Physics, Low Temperature Physics, Neutron and Synchrotron X-ray scattering, Quantum Information Processing, Biodiagnostics, Medical Physics, Cosmology, Quantum Optics, Ion Cavity QED, Molecular Ions, and Quantum Field Theory.
SEPnet has links with leading edge research institutions and students may find themselves in sought after locations such as CERN, Switzerland, or the UK's Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, ISIS, Diamond, or the National Physics Laboratories. Our team of British and international academics, many leaders in their field, encourage students to fully utilize these opportunities by developing individual programmes of study and research.
