Program Overview

Why choose this course

Home to superb research facilities and partnered with the National Physical Laboratory, Surrey offers distinctive physics courses that reflect the diversity and exciting nature of the subject.

Our MPhys offer you a flexible choice of modules across many different topics, covering both theoretical and applied areas of physics. Our teaching builds on the broad range of expertise among our acclaimed academics.

Two unique aspects of both courses are:

Our placement programme:

On our MPhys course, you’ll take a year-long, masters-level integrated research placement. This can be in one of our world-leading research groups or at one of our international partner institutions.

Our focus on undergraduate research and innovation:

All undergraduates have the opportunity to apply for 8-10 week paid summer placements in our research groups and those of our South East Physics Network partners.
We offer in-house “research and innovation” and “enterprise” grants that students can apply for to fund a research placement, attend a conference or develop a new business idea.
