Graduate Studies
The Centre for Particle Theory is a combined research group in the Mathematics and Physics Departments forming one of the largest particle theory groups in the UK. Both departments accept students for the PhD or MSc degrees.
Degrees
PhD
In the first year, students for the PhD usually attend the graduate lecture courses, and take the examinations in January and April, which form part of the first year assessment. Each student will be assigned a supervisory team, who will be responsible for the research programme followed by the student in the remainder of their period of study.
The degree is awarded on successful completion of a thesis based on original research. Non UK students may be required to register for the MSc in the first instance and subsequently convert to the PhD, subject to satisfactory progress during the first year.
