The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Manchester is home to outstanding research, leading facilities such as the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, and internationally renowned physicists and astronomers including the discoverers of graphene Professor Sir Andre Geim and Professor Sir Konstantin Novoselov, and Professor Brian Cox.
Postgraduate research projects in the Department cover a rich portfolio over most of the subfields of physics and astronomy, ranging from fundamental areas to interdisciplinary projects that reach beyond the academic subject.
These opportunities are advertised as either specific individual projects, which you can apply for directly after contacting the named supervisor, or research fields with suggestions for possible projects, where you can discuss a range of potential projects in a specific area with the supervisor.
