Gravity, Particles and Fields MSc

Have you ever wondered how black holes form and what they look like on the inside Do you want to know how the universe started or what is its fate Have you ever imagined extra dimensions, new particles or new interactionsThis MSc will help you understand how the universe works on the largest and the smallest scales. This provides a solid foundation for advanced mathematics and the remarkable physics of:general relativityquantum gravityblack holesdifferential geometryparticle physicsquantum field theoryquantum informationcosmology and the early universeYoull be taught by world-leading researchers from the Nottingham Centre of Gravity (NCoG).Straddling the Schools of Mathematical Sciences and Physics and Astronomy, the centre is focused on six pillars of modern research; fundamental physics, mathematics, cosmology, relativistic astrophysics, experiment and modelling.This MSc is closely linked to that research programme, with particular emphasis on all aspects of gravity, cosmology, and particle physics. As a postgraduate member of NCoG you will be part of a vibrant academic community and be introduced to contemporary ideas via weekly research seminars by external speakers. You will also attend regular colloquia, delivered by renowned international researchers and bi-termly NCoG workshops.
