Starting dates and places
Description
This programme covers topics like string theory, quantum field theory, supersymmetry, general relativity, and conformal and integrable field theory. Students gain a coherent, comprehensive introduction to the building blocks of modern theoretical physics. Students study at least eight taught modules and develop individual projects in areas of current research. The programme ideally prepares students for active research.
KEY BENEFITS
- This intensive programme covers basic topics in theoretical and mathematical physics such as general relativity and quantum field theory, and leads to advanced topics such as string theory, supersymmetry and integrable quantum field theory.

This programme covers topics like string theory, quantum field
theory, supersymmetry, general relativity, and conformal and
integrable field theory. Students gain a coherent, comprehensive
introduction to the building blocks of modern theoretical physics.
Students study at least eight taught modules and develop individual

prepares students for active research.
KEY BENEFITS
- This intensive programme covers basic topics in theoretical and mathematical physics such as general relativity and quantum field theory, and leads to advanced topics such as string theory, supersymmetry and integrable quantum field theory.
- Intimate class environment with small class sizes (typically fewer than 30 students per module) allows good student-lecturer interactions.
- A full 12-month course with a three-month supervised summer
project to give a real introduction to research.
PURPOSEThe purpose of this programme is to provide a coherent
and comprehensive introduction to the main building blocks of
modern theoretical physics, preparing students for active research
at the forefront of this discipline.
DESCRIPTIONThe master's is organised on a module system together
with an individual project. You will take eight taught modules of
which at least five will be from the list: Foundations of
Mathematical Physics; Quantum Mechanics II; Quantum Field Theory;
Lie Groups & Lie Algebras; Manifolds; Space-time Geometry &
General Relativity; Advanced General Relativity; Supersymmetry;
String Theory & Branes; Low-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory;
Advanced Quantum Field Theory; Mathematical Methods for Theoretical
Physics; Standard Model Physics and Beyond.
The remaining modules can be drawn from the wide range of
theoretical
physics or pure mathematics MSc modules available in London, the
Financial Mathematics MSc in King's and at most two modules from
the undergraduate programme at King's. The project is undertaken
over the summer in an area of current research.
