Degree requirements    
You should normally have a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate honours degree or above.

Subject-specific requirements    
Your qualification should be in a physics-, engineering- or mathematics-based subject and include a basic background in some of the key areas such as quantum mechanics, quantum electronics, quantum optics, photonics or other related modern physics fields. You may also be considered for the course if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing.

IELTS (Academic)
Standard level (6.0 overall, including at least 5.5 in each component).

• Home students: £11,275 per year for full-time students
• Channel Islands and Isle of Man students: £11,275 per year for full-time students
• International students: £22,975 per year for full-time students

If you study part time over two years, you’ll be charged 50% of the equivalent full-time fee in each year of study. Your second-year fee – if you continue your studies without a break – will be subject to a 3% increase (subject to rounding).

Note that your fees, once they’re set, may be subject to an increase on an annual basis. 

This course may be attractive to you if you aim to:

• go on to doctoral study (theory or experiment)
• work in a high-technology company exploiting cutting-edge technologies related to our research (this could involve development of quantum information technology, high-precision measurements and quantum metrology, and photonics/optical communications)
• work in business/data analysis, research, computer programming, software development, or teaching.
