About Msc Physics With Quantum Dynamics in Imperial College London
This course is open to both physicists and BSc graduates from mathematics, chemistry or engineering disciplines who are looking to deepen their knowledge of physics and pursue a research career within a university, industrial or national research laboratory.
This course is a stream of our MSc in Physics and covers three core sections:
- quantum optics
- quantum information
- quantum systems
You will complete a three-month, full-time project on quantum dynamics, usually with one of our academic research groups.
Upon graduating, you will have:
- acquired an understanding of selected areas of physics at the frontiers of knowledge, beyond the undergraduate level
- extended your knowledge of advanced mathematical methods
- received training in research skills and methodology
- experienced undertaking a major, individual, physics-related project and reporting the results in a full scientific report and oral and poster presentation
- developed your communication skills, both written and oral, to specialised and non-specialised audiences
- undertaken an intellectually challenging and stimulating degree programme in quantum dynamics
- been equipped for doctoral research in atomic physics, quantum photonics, quantum information, or in general quantum physics
Academic qualification equivalents
- To be considered for admission to a Master's e.g. MSc, MRes, MBA etc, applicants should normally have completed a three to four year Bachelor's degree from a mainstream university (state/federal or ‘deemed' institution) passed with a required grades.
Applicants for research should hold a three to four year Bachelor's degree and Master's degree, both passed with required grades. Integrated Master's degrees with required grades will also qualify an applicant for entry to Research.
Applicants from elite institutions will be required to obtain a minimum overall average of 7 / 10 or 60%. These are the College minimum scores and particular departments may seek grades at a higher level.
Applicants from other approved institutions will be required to obtain a minimum overall average ranging from 7.5-8 / 10 or 65-70%. These are the College minimum range of required scores and particular departments may seek grades at a higher level.
