Advanced Physics

Reflecting the research strengths and specialisms of our Department of Physics, the Advanced Physics course from Loughborough University combines compulsory modules in superconductivity and nanoscience with options that include quantum computing and solid state physics.

Over the course of the program, you will explore diverse modules which will allow you to apply and communicate your knowledge of materials science. This will culminate in the development of an individual project essay in which you will consider a particular aspect of physics and gain experience in conducting a piece of original applied research.
