Our Theoretical Physics MSc is an intensive, research-led course. You will examine foundational topics in theoretical and mathematical physics such as general relativity and quantum field theory,
The Theoretical Physics Group in the Department of Mathematics is at the international forefront of research and offers PhD's in string and M-theory, black holes, conformal field theory,
Cosmology is the study of the Universe as a whole. Its overall aim is to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos by addressing fundamental questions such as why the Universe is structured in the way that
Undertake independent research in cosmology and astrophysics, exploring fundamental questions about the Universe, from dark energy and dark matter to gravitational waves and large-scale structure.
Explore cosmology and astrophysics at an advanced level, with an emphasis on theoretical cosmology. Our focus is on theoretical and numerical cosmology in the pre- and post-recombination universe.
This programme is available as two options: you can apply for a PhD in Mathematical Physics through the University of Edinburgh. Alternatively, you can apply for a PhD delivered by the Algebra,
This is a three to four-year research programme culminating in submission and examination of a thesis containing substantial original work. PhD students carry out their research under the guidance of
