You will benefit from direct contact with our group of international experts who will teach you cutting-edge physics and supervise your projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL PHYSICS PROJECTS HOW TO
You will develop transferable skills that will improve your career prospects, such as project management, team-working, advanced data analysis, problem-solving, critical evaluation of scientific literature, advanced laboratory and computing skills, and how to effectively communicate with different audiences.You will gain the theoretical, observational and computational skills necessary to analyse and solve advanced physics problems, providing you with an excellent foundation for a career of scientific leadership in academia or industry.The alliance brings together internationally leading physics research across Scotland to form the largest physics grouping in the UK. You will also benefit from our membership of the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance.Our Masters students have regular opportunities to engage with our industrial collaborators through informal visits, guest lectures and workshops. The School is highly active in research and knowledge transfer projects with industry.The School plays a world-leading role in the design and operation of the worldwide network of laser interferometers that have detected gravitational waves.Members of the School of Physics and Astronomy set up Lynkeos Technology Ltd, for muon imaging of nuclear waste products.and the UK National Nuclear Laboratory in the area of nuclear fuel reprocessing and nuclear waste management. The School has close links with Sellafield Ltd.The School of Physics and Astronomy plays a leading role in the exploitation of data from the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator at CERN.
