Course Overview
Postgraduate Research (MPhil / PhD)
This pathway involves conducting original research rather than taking structured lecture courses like an MSc. As a postgraduate researcher, you will:
• Work under a supervisor on a specific physics or astronomy research project.
• Attend departmental seminars, lectures, and advanced topics classes.
• Produce a research thesis or dissertation that contributes new findings to your field.
• Present work at conferences or publish in academic journals depending on progress.
Southampton’s research strengths include astronomy, quantum light & matter, theoretical particle physics and gravitation — with collaborations at facilities like CERN and leading observatories
