OverviewThe Physics Research program at Keele University specializes in two key areas: "Astrophysics" and "Materials Science with Renewable Energy Applications." Astrophysics research explores stellar formation and clusters, advanced stellar evolution, massive stars' influence on the early cosmos, interstellar matter, binary star systems, exoplanet discovery and analysis. The Materials Science and Renewable Energy division investigates physical acoustics and two-dimensional materials.Research Focus AreasAstrophysicsStellar birth processes and young celestial objectsExoplanetary systems detected through transit methodsBinary star systems exhibiting eclipsesDynamics within stellar clustersLate-stage stellar evolution - mass ejection and catastrophic endingsComposition, behavior and movement of interstellar matterTheoretical and computational studies of stellar structures, evolution and atmospheric conditionsNuclear processes in stars and elemental formationAtmospheric characteristics of A, F and G-type starsEnergetic galactic coresPhysicsAdvanced computational modeling of sustainable material technologiesEssential characteristics and practical uses of two-dimensional materialsPlease note: According to UK visa policies, international students (classified as overseas for tuition purposes) are generally required to enroll full-time, except for those pursuing distance learning programs.
PhD, MPhil and DMs usually require an Honours degree with a first or 2.1 classifications, or the equivalent if you have been educated outside the UK . Any other academic and/or professional qualifications you may have are also considered, and in some cases form an integral part of the entrance requirement.
IELTS: 6.5 with 6.0 in all components. TOEFL IBT (including home): 87 with 19 (writing), 19 (listening), 19 (reading) and 20 (speaking).
