ABOUT
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Faculty of Science
This course teaches you about aspects of quantum physics that are paving the way for quantum technologies. You will study the fundamental properties of light and matter, and how they interact with each other. This includes learning how semiconductors are used in electronic and optoelectronic devices, ranging from nanophotonic circuits, and micro- and nano-sources of quantum light, to photovoltaic solar cells.
By formulating complex equations that describe the theory, and seeing how it’s put into practice with experiments in the lab, you’ll develop expertise that can be applied to some of the biggest challenges in science and technology, from new semiconductor nanostructures and 2D materials to building an optical quantum computer. You’ll learn how your specialist knowledge can be applied in the computing, electronics and telecommunications industries.
The biggest part of your degree is your research project. Possible topics include:
You will also complete a research training programme, and there are optional modules to choose from including quantum mechanics, magnetic resonance, soft condensed matter, biological physics and statistical physics.
1 year full-time
One year individual programme of research. Taught material is complemented by a 12-month research project in one of our world-leading research groups.
Your training will cover optical experiments and fabrication of devices in our state-of-the-art laboratories as well as numerical methods and more.
You’ll be assessed by examinations, coursework, essays and other written work, presentations and a dissertation and viva.
The advanced topics covered and the extensive research training make this course great preparation for a PhD. Alternatively, the specialist expertise you’ll gain can be applied in the computing, electronics and telecommunications industries – from manufacturing new devices with advanced materials, to improving computer processing and data security systems. You can also develop numerical, problem solving and data analysis skills that are useful in many careers, from software engineering to finance.
Our laboratories include a dedicated facility for studying the optical properties of structures based on 2D materials, such as MoS2, MoSe2, WSe2, WS2, NbSe2, gallium and indium chalcogenides. We’re one of the leaders in research of complex heterostructures based on 2D materials, which is based on our expertise in photonics and magneto-optics of nanostructured semiconductors.
We usually ask for a first-class degree, or equivalent, in physics.
Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.
The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you’re studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.

REQUIREMENTS
accommodation
The international undergraduate and postgraduate students at this university can use different types of accommodation options and live in a safe and vibrant environment to focus entirely on their studies and get the best result, also the students can use the cafes and bars gyms, and other living facilities, on the other hand, they can have an accommodation tour and Sheffield city tour to become familiar with their living environment and make the most suitable decision, as we said, this university offers various accommodation options with different fees like £6,782.58 to £10,210.62 for a rental place in the city for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and they can choose to have a private or shared room.
After Graduation
The international students can work up to 20 hours in part-time jobs in the UK, however, they must refer to their visa to see whether they have study and work permits or not, we recommend you to focus only on your education to get the best results and be able to find the most suitable jobs in the UK or the global market right after graduation, on the other hand, if the international applicants need extra financial help to pay for their tuition fee, living, and study expenses, they can find part-time jobs under some conditions, also if the students find related jobs to their educational fields (with the help of the university), they will obtain more real experience and skills aside from the theoretical knowledge that they acquire during their study period.
