This is a stream for the MSc in Physics. Students who have chosen to specialise in shock physics will graduate with a MSc in Physics with Shock Physics. Shock physics focuses on the understanding of what happens to matter under extreme conditions.
This research can be applied in many ways, including: analysing the effect of meteorite impacts on planets, spacecraft and satellites, understanding how tsunamis are formed, understanding the high pressure conditions that occur at the core of planets, This course explores the response of a wide range of materials, from rock to plasma, when subjected to rapid or high pressure loading.
This area is important for a number of applications, such as: preventing impact damage to transportation vehicles, petrochemical and other offshore platforms, astrophysics and studies into the internal conditions of nuclear energy reactors, You will be trained in techniques that are of value to potential industrial employers, government agencies and other organisations.
Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry. This course shares the same content as the 12-month MSc in Physics except you replace three optional modules with three compulsory modules in shock physics.
