Our Physics with Theoretical Physics MSci will give you a strong foundation in all of the fundamental aspects of physics, including theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, fields and waves, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics. You'll be taught by internationally-renowned academic staff who have links to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and the LIGO gravitational wave observatory. Your studies will take place in a friendly and supportive environment in central London.
You also have the opportunity to transfer to the Study Abroad pathway and spend your third year at a partner institution before returning to King’s for your final year. This is dependent on you reaching a certain grade average and being accepted by a partner university.
