We offer a one-year Master's by Research (MSc) course, plus opportunities for extended research leading to a PhD (see courses listed below). All Physics and Astronomy courses are based on our Canterbury campus.
MSc and PhD projects can be offered in all our active research areas. Take a look at the research interests of individual Physics & Astronomy academic supervisors. Examples of MSc/PhD projects and sources of funding are available for each of our research groups:
We offer a variety of scholarships to students who achieve outstanding academic merits, as well funding based on your specific area of study, your circumstances and for taught and research study.
We offer loans for Master's and doctoral programmes and administer awards for students from the United States. If you are a Canadian student, you can apply to borrow a loan from the Canada Student Loans Program.
The Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund is for full or part-time graduates wishing to study towards a doctorate in physics and from groups that are currently underrepresented in physics.
