MRes Materials and Physics postgraduate research

The University of Salford welcomes applications to study materials and physics via our MPhil and PhD research programmes.

The prestigious Physics and Materials Research Group encompasses experimental, computational and theoretical areas of physics, chemistry, engineering and mathematics. Our research is primarily focused on applied optics, complexity and nonlinear photonics, hydrogen storage, photovoltaics, functionalisation of graphene, semiconductor materials and thin films.

A research degree offers you the flexibility to conduct your own research project under direct supervision of an academic member of staff. You can study towards a Master of Research (MRes), Master of Philosophy (MPhil) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
