Physics with Quantum Technology, MPhys (Hons), with industry placement

The MPhys in Physics with Quantum Technology at the University of Exeter provides a robust foundation in modern physics, while cultivating professional skills and preparing students for careers as physicists. The program emphasizes core mainstream physics alongside a balanced exploration of practical and technological applications in quantum physics. Fully accredited by the Institute of Physics, it follows a structured skills development pathway from day one through the entire degree. Students progressively build expertise in classical physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, solid-state physics, and other key areas. Concurrently, the curriculum fosters proficiency in essential, employable skills such as experimental physics, data analysis, critical thinking, problem-solving, science communication, and scientific programming.The MPhys offers opportunities to specialize in topics aligned with the department's applied quantum physics research. In Stages 3 and 4, students engage in a collaborative, open-ended research project—supervised by departmental researchers—gaining hands-on insight into modern research practices and honing skills as professional researchers.
