Physics Research MPhil/PhD

King's College London, University of London

We are an internationally renowned research-intensive department, with a strong record on external funding grants and publications and academic supervisors who are world-leading experts in cutting edge areas of physics. We welcome PhD students from all around the world to join our friendly and supportive community. Physicists at King's are developing new ways to unlock biological mysteries and develop new medical technologies, working to understand how atoms and molecules at the nanoscale shape our macroscopic world, furthering advanced photonic and scanning probe techniques to create novel nanomaterials, and continuing Maxwell’s work in the unification of physics. We have strong links with industry, government and other academic institutions including CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research, which is one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research, The Francis Crick Institute, one of the largest biomedical laboratories in Europe, and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory where pioneering work in areas such as particle physics, scientific computing, laser development, space research, and technology addresses some of the important challenges facing society.
