Durham's Physics Department has earned another prestigious honor for its commitment to equality and diversity, with its Juno award application being reviewed by Athena SWAN in April. The recognition will be officially granted at a ceremony hosted by the University of Glasgow on December 4, 2017. Prospective students seeking Ph.D. or MSc degrees in 'Condensed Matter Physics' or 'Materials Physics' should apply through faculty members at the Centre for Materials Physics. Numerous staff within the Centre are affiliated with other University research centers, enabling them to provide interdisciplinary Ph.D. opportunities. Those considering doctoral studies in Physics with a focus on Materials Physics or Condensed Matter Physics will find Durham an ideal choice. Materials physics involves exploring all phases of matter, forming the foundation for scientific breakthroughs—from innovations like silicon chips and LCD screens to fundamental discoveries in superconductivity, complex quantum mechanics, and spin-charge interactions. Durham University boasts internationally renowned researchers in materials physics, collaborating with leading global teams.
