Master of Science - Theoretical Physics (Advanced Research)

University of Hertfordshire

Program Description

Theoretical physics addresses foundational questions: What is the universe made of? And how does it work? Throughout this course, students will be exposed to the elegant and unifying mathematical ideas that underpin humanity’s best answers to these questions to date.

Students will explore the fundamental physical theories which govern the behaviour of space, time and matter. From the quantum field theories that allow us to compute amplitudes in high-energy particle scattering experiments, to the geometry of black holes and other curved spacetimes, they’ll gain exposure to the key concepts of the field.
