The Physics department is a vibrant and dynamic centre for Physics research with research activity traceable back to the establishment of the institution in the late 1800s. Today we deliver our own individual research leadership and lead national and international research partnerships at the cutting-edge of the most exciting fields in physics. Our research portfolio is broad based and world-leading, ranging from theoretical and experimental work in fundamental curiosity driven research to developing practical solutions for today’s most important scientific and social problems. Available in any research area, Doctoral Level study provides a career-defining qualification in research and development for academia or industry. Find out about staff and research project opportunities on our Physics page here: https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-teaching/departments-and-schools/physics/studying-here/research-degrees/ Much of our research is carried out in collaboration with other leading universities and laboratories in Europe and worldwide, including CERN, the European Spallation Source, the National Physical Laboratory and high tech industry partners. Strong funding support is provided by the leading national and international science funding agencies, including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), Innovate UK, the European Commission and the Royal Society. We also have joint PhD studentships with our research collaborations.
Getting in
As the university states it
An Integrated Masters degree (MSci) qualification at 2:1 or equivalent in Physics, or MSc at Distinction level in Physics, is required for cosideration. Before applying we recommend securing a supervisor in order to apply for your research project. We advise getting in touch with the Director of Postgraduate Education making an informal enquiry for your chosen research degree to inquire whether there is any other additional material they require you to submit in your application. Physics PhD candidates do not require a detailed research proposal. A short statement explaining your reasons for choosing the research area and relevant experience, a CV and relevant transcripts should be uploaded instead. Upon application please select one of the following research disciplines from the pathway list within the application form: Quantum Materials and Technology or Particle Physics and Astronomy For Quantum Materials and Technology applicants, when submitting your application through ourApplicant Portal, please also email the supervisor named on your application. They will then contact you re availability of studentship and interviews etc
