Research degrees

  

Physics has been studied and taught at King's since its foundation in 1829 with many distinguished physicists including Nobel Laureates joining our ranks over the last 200 years. Today physicists at King's are developing new ways to unlock biological mysteries and develop new medical technologies, working to understand how atoms and molecules at the nanoscale shape our macroscopic world, furthering advanced photonic and scanning probe techniques to create novel nanomaterials, and continuing Maxwell’s work in the unification of physics.

We are an internationally renowned research-intensive department, with a strong record on external funding grants and publications and academic supervisors who are world-leading experts in cutting edge areas of physics. We welcome PhD students from all around the world to join our friendly and supportive community.

It is possible to undertake research leading to the PhD degree in any areas of interest in the Department of Physics. You can explore research topics and potential supervisors on the Research group pages.
