Physics with Theoretical Physics

About this programme

Our integrated Master's degree in Physics with Theoretical Physics provides a robust foundation of all of the fundamental aspects of modern and theoretical physics. You’ll explore topics including relativity, quantum mechanics, fields and waves, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics, with the theoretical physics modules equipping you with the advanced mathematical tools for pursuing complex theoretical physics problems. You’ll gain key analytical and practical skills such as problem-solving, creative thinking, team work, and data analysis, preparing you for a wide-range of future-facing careers. You'll join a friendly and supportive department, learning from internationally renowned scientists, including with links to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the LIGO gravitational wave observatory and Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory. In your first two years, you'll sample core physics including theoretical physics fields and develop experimental techniques through integrated lab work. The third and fourth years involve applying this knowledge and skills to complex research or industry-inspired problems, enabling novel discovery research and providing crucial employability skills. You also have the opportunity to transfer to the Study Abroad pathway and spend an additional year at a partner institution before returning to King’s to complete your studies. This depends on you reaching a certain grade average and being accepted by a partner university. Strand Campus sits along the Thames at London's cultural heart.
