The MSc by Research in Applied Physics and Materials offers students the opportunity to engage in a year-long individual research program that is both personally and professionally enriching. Students' research projects in applied physics and materials are influenced by their participation in research activities such as seminars, workshops, laboratory work, and field studies, as well as their involvement in one of Swansea University's established research groups. Swansea University is home to three primary research groups, including the Applied Physics and Materials Group (APM), which receives funding from various organizations such as the European Union, Welsh Government, National Science Foundation, Australian Research Council, Welsh European Funding Office, and EPSRC. Research areas within the APM group include bio photonics, nanomedicine, and sustainable advanced materials, focusing on topics such as nano- and micro-structured materials, biomimetics, analyte sensing, light-tissue interaction, next-generation semiconductors, bioelectronic materials, optoelectronics, solar energy conversion, and transport physics of disordered solids.
