MPhys Research Year

All our MPhys students spend a full year of their course doing research, often at a top international lab such as CERN on the French/Swiss border or the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. Almost uniquely amongst UK physics departments, we offer all our MPhys students the chance to do their research off campus.
