Master of Science [M.Sc] [Mathematics and Its Applications] From University of Kent

The work carried out at Kent is of the highest academic standard and is often related to medical, commercial and industrial problems. The research groups are focused in the areas of Functional Materials, Applied Optics and Astrophysics and Planetary Science.

The School of Physical Sciences from the University of Kent offers postgraduate students the opportunity to participate in groundbreaking science in the realms of physics, chemistry, forensics and astronomy.

With strong international reputations, our staff provide plausible ideas, well-designed projects, research training and enthusiasm within a stimulating environment. Recent investment in modern laboratory equipment and computational facilities accelerates the research.

The School maintains a focus on progress to ensure each student is able to compete with their peers in their chosen field. We carefully nurture the skills, abilities and motivation of our students which are vital elements in our research activity. We offer higher degree programmes in chemistry and physics (including specialisations in forensics, astronomy and space science) by research. We also offer taught programmes in Forensic Science, studied over one year full-time, and a two-year European-style MasterÕs in Physics.
