Overview
Students working towards their DPhil in Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford can choose from topics ranging from astrophysics and plasma physics to condensed matter theory to particle theory and we collaborate with experimentalists in other sub-departments and worldwide.
Features
- There are also theoretical projects available in other sub-departments.
Programme Structure
Research
- You will be assigned to a research group: work on your original research project will start immediately and continue for the duration of your DPhil.
- Your research project will be your main focus throughout your DPhil, but to increase your basic and specialist physics knowledge you will be required to attend lectures and courses in your first year.
- This includes courses from the MMathPhys programme, as well as the seminars and colloquia that are regularly held in the department.
