MSc Advanced Physics in Loughborough United Kingdom | Loughborough University

Our MSc Advanced Physics program equips you with essential skills for careers in industry, public service, or academic research.
Building on our Department of Physics's research expertise, this program integrates core modules in superconductivity and nanoscience with elective courses covering quantum computing and solid state physics.

Throughout the program, you'll engage with varied modules that enable you to practically apply and effectively communicate your materials science knowledge. This leads to an independent research project where you'll investigate a specific physics topic, gaining hands-on experience in original applied research. Potential research areas include:

High-temperature superconductors
Terahertz technology in semiconductors and superconductors
Quantum computing and metamaterials
Physics under extreme conditions
Your learning experience will benefit from our newly upgraded physics and engineering laboratories, featuring advanced equipment such as pulsed laser deposition systems, atomic force microscopes, Raman spectroscopy instruments, and X-ray diffractometers. The department also maintains an observatory housing a 16-inch Meade telescope with equatorial mount and additional astronomical instruments.
