How You Study
Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will have meetings with their academic supervisor, but the frequency of these will vary depending on individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of programme.

Research Areas and Topics
Staff in the School of Mathematics and Physics conduct cutting-edge research in fundamental and applied mathematics and physics, ranging from pure mathematics to applied nano-science at the interface between biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The School collaborates with top research institutions in Germany, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the USA.
Our research focuses on four key areas: Algebra, Astrophysics, Computational Physics, and Experimental Nanophysics.
Main research areas in nanomaterials:
- Nanostructured Soft Matter
- Active Matter
- Materials Science
- Molecular Biophysics

How you are assessed
The MSc by Research involves writing a Master's thesis under the supervision of a member of academic staff on a topic agreed with the supervisor. The MSc by Research is usually awarded based on the quality of the student's thesis and their ability to present and successfully defend their chosen research topic in an oral examination (viva voce). Assessment is mostly one-to-one with the supervisor.
