The MSc in Physics programme combines a coursework component with research experience at the frontiers of physics and applied physics research. Masters students are also expected to complete a research thesis, though at a lower level of comprehensiveness and scope than PhD theses.
MSc students must complete 12 AUs of coursework from 7XX courses, including at least one PAP7XX (graduate-level physics) course. To fulfill this requirement with courses offered outside the division, permission must be sought in advance from the school. Courses taken to fulfill these requirements must be taken on a letter grade basis, and MSc students are expected to maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.0.
MSc students must also write a research thesis. The thesis procedure and requirements are the same as for PhD students; however, MSc theses are usually of more limited scope than PhD theses, and are evaluated by two rather than three examiners.
