More information about the internal PGT Open Day which took place within the Department of Physics in December 2023 Day can be seen at PGT Open Day December 2023.

The Department is offering the following programmes for 2024 entry:

• MSc Physics
• MSc Physics with Extended Research (2 year)
• MSc Physics with Quantum Dynamics
• MSc Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces
• MSc Security and Resilience: Science and Technology
• MSc and MRes in Optics and
• MRes Machine Learning and Big Data
• MRes Soft Electronic Materials

Through a combination of lectures, practical laboratories and individual research projects, students are bought to the cutting edge of research. Specialisms include cosmology, physics of light and materials, to the physics of the quantum realm, and down to the tiniest scales of particle physics. Our programmes span all the way from blue skies research areas through to those with very direct application in industry, computing and the resilience of society. 

The Virtual Open Day gave students the chance to:

• learn more about the department, our master's programmes and their entry requirements;
• meet our programme directors;
• chat to teaching and support staff; and
• ask questions live.

Find out more about all the programmes by visiting Imperial.
