Students applying for the MSc programme must be able to pay their own tuition fees, bench fees and living costs or have a scholarship to cover these costs. Unfortunatley, the BCFN do not have any funding available to support any students applying for the Masters programme.

If you are an overseas student, please look at the details of the Think BIG Postgraduate Scholarship - round 1 deadline is 11:59pm (GMT) Sunday 29 March 2020.

More information about potential funding is available from the Student Funding Office. International specific scholarship information can be found under the International Financial Help section.

Online Application Form

We require our students to have a good scientific grounding before starting our course, so we ask for applicants to hold or be on course for an upper second-class honours degree. We do not necessarily request that the subject area is Physics or Chemistry, so if you come from a scientifically based undergraduate background and are interested in the course please apply.

If you are an international student please see the International Office website for international equivalencies and we also adopt the University English language profile E.

You can apply for entry in 2020 via the online application form. Please note that you do NOT need to complete the following sections of the form:
