516 PhD programmes in Physics

Students are required to find a research advisor and form a doctoral committee before the end of the second year of study. This committee is responsible for advising the student and monitoring his/her progress toward the doctoral degree. The Physics program is offered by the University of Tennessee Knoxville.

The Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences at Heriot-Watt University encourages a cross-fertilisation of ideas across the theoretical and experimental base of photonics and quantum sciences, and through this approach we have built a strong capability to manage the challenges of contemporary academic research and working with industry.

The PhD Physics and Astronomy program at Brigham Young University prepares students for professional careers in astronomy and astrophysics. 

The Department of Astronomy at University of California, Berkeley offers a graduate program aimed at the PhD degree in Astrophysics. Entering students need not have majored in astronomy, although some background in astronomy is desirable. A strong background in physics, however, is essential.

The Physical Science programme offered by Manchester Metropolitan University enables researchers to deepen their expertise and develop advanced research and practical skills in environmental, ecological, and geographical research.

The Physics - Quantum Information programme offered by University of Waterloo develops advanced expertise in quantum phenomena, information processing, and next-generation physical technologies.

The Global Science Graduate Course (GSGC) program of The University of Tokyo is an international graduate program that was recently launched by Graduate School of Science and allows students to obtain their degrees in English.

Emory University’s Physics Department focuses on integrating emergent scientific research with innovative pedagogical training and community outreach.

An interdisciplinary Chemical Physics curriculum between the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics from University of Nevada, Reno offers students a hands-on education with the resources of two leading research-active departments.

This PhD program is offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and includes specializations in three major subdisciplines of physics.

The Physical Geography programme from Masaryk University aims to prepare top specialists in specific disciplines of physical geography. Graduates of the program should be prepared primarily for further scientific careers in academic and research institutions, but also for potential employment in the private sector.

The Physics programme offered by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona develops advanced research expertise in fundamental and applied physics across a wide range of scientific domains.

Welcome to the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

Research projects available for the DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics at University of Oxford include topics in biological physics, quantum materials and semiconductor materials, devices and nanostructures. 

The areas embraced by Physics research at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) span the range from the well-established disciplines of "big science," e.g. studying the Higgs Boson at the LHC, and frontier plasma science underpinning fusion energy to newly emerging fields such as the physics of neuroscience and quantum science.

The Ph.D. Programme in Physics and Astronomy at University of Milano - Bicocca offers the opportunity to strengthen the knowledge in fundamental and applied physics. 

This Applied Physics programme from INTI International University and Colleges enables students to undertake specialised and applied in-depth research work in various branches of applied physics, including but not limited to plasma physics, pulse power technology, and material science. 

The study of Physics at the Yale University has revealed a world remarkably united around a small set of fundamental laws and basic forces of nature. 

The Bonn-Cologne Graduate School for Physics and Astronomy BCGS is a joint program of graduate studies between the University of Bonn and University of Cologne.

This Physics (Research) programme is offered by the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Science at the University of Johannesburg.
