This programme will: enable you to develop skills transferable to a wide range of other careers; allow you to gain a deep understanding of your chosen area through the combination of advanced taught programmes and an extended research project; provide excellent training in research skills; enable extended contact between you and your academic project supervisor; and give you the option to study at other South East Physics Network (SEPnet) universities. The majority of taught modules are assessed by a final examination (typically 90% of the final mark) and by coursework (typically 10% of the final mark), although individual module mark schemes may vary from this. The compulsory MSc Physics (Euro masters) project is assessed by the final written report (60% of the final mark), a student presentation and oral examination (30% of the final mark) and performance during the project (10% of the final mark). Postgraduates from the Queen Mary School of Physics and Astronomy go on to work in a variety of careers, such as risk analysis, science communication and academia, whilst others pursue their interest in physics and astronomy by undertaking a PhD.
