POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH

Welcome to the School of Physics at University of NSW. We offer a range of research projects for qualified students who wish to undertake postgraduate research leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Masters by Research (MSc) or a Masters of Philosophy (MPhil) degree. These research degrees involve the student independently researching a specific topic under the guidance of a supervisor. We have a large number of students from Australia and overseas enrolled in postgraduate research working on projects offered by all the departments of the School. Students interested in research projects in the School of Physics should make contact with a prospective supervisor before lodging an application. The links to the Departments (above) will lead to available projects and supervisors in each area.

The UNSW Graduate Research School, the central administrative unit of the University for research students, manages all aspects of research degrees including applications, fees, scholarships, etc. Please visit their website to find instructions on how to apply, the latest information about financial assistance, and further information about studying for a research degree at UNSW.

The Postgraduate Director in the School of Physics is Professor Michael Gal.  Students should contact him if they have further questions about research degrees in the School of Physics.
