Streatham Campus, Exeter
Physics’ research activities are concentrated in the four research groups: Astrophysics, Biomedical Physics, Electromagnetic Materials, and Quantum Systems and Nanomaterials. All research students are assigned to one of these groups, providing a stimulating environment with access to academic and postdoctoral staff, and fellow postgraduate students working in related areas. This group structure provides a very positive support mechanism and it helps research students to sustain productive research; over 90 per cent submit within the EPSRC deadline period, with most publishing several scientific papers during their period of study.
If you are interested in applying for a PhD at Exeter you should first look at our research pages and decide which research area(s) interest you. You should also look at our PhD admissions page which lists a range of funded projects which are available. When you apply, you should specify the research group(s) that you are interested in and, if you wish, a particular supervisor. Funded studentships are competitive, so it helps not to be too precise in your choice of project. PhD projects in Physics are usually of three years duration; if you wish to study part-time you should discuss this with your prospective supervisor.
