Open Day
Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) will be holding an in-person Open Day for prospective DPhil applicants. It is an opportunity to meet supervisors as well as some of our postdocs and current graduate students.
There will be an introduction from the CMP Director of Graduate Studies and talks from different research groups. You will have the opportunity to meet with supervisors for further discussion, ask questions, and listen to talks from current students about their experience studying CMP at Oxford.
We will offer a limited number of in person lab tours.
All places for the CMP Open Day have now been filled. Please complete your registration if you would like to be added to the reserve list, and we will be in touch if a space opens up - https://forms.office.com/e/SMjuF2t9FT
If you have any questions regarding this, please email cmpgradadmin@physics.ox.ac.uk
The 2024 Open Day will take place on 5th December 2024 - Department of Physics Clarendon Laboratory, Parks Road, Oxford, starting at approx. 10:00 am. A detailed timetable will be sent in due course to all registered.
Condensed Matter Physics will be holding our open day in conjuction with the Superconductivity CDT. Further information regarding this can be found here - Home | Oxford Superconductivity
When studying for a DPhil (PhD) in Condensed Matter Physics, students can choose from topics in biological physics, quantum materials, and semiconductor materials, devices and nanostructures; our research ranges from fundamental physics questions to interdisciplinary research and technological applications.
A DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics will allow students to conduct research that not only considers unsolved fundamental physics questions but also has many important and highly relevant technological applications. Research projects available include topics in biological physics, quantum materials and semiconductor materials, devices and nanostructures.

How to apply
All applications must be made through the central University of Oxford graduate admissions website where you will find information about applying to any of the six DPhil courses on offer at the Department of Physics.
It is important to note that you are not required to select a final project or supervisor at the point of application; while it is useful for us to know the broad areas you are interested in, we do not expect you to have made a final decision on your preferred projects and there will be opportunities to discuss your interests before offers are made.
Important Notice - Applicants are required to submit an application for each Physics DPhil Course they are interested in, noting that you are allowed to apply to a maximum of 3 PGR courses total. If you wish to apply for more than 3 courses, please write to the relevant administrator for advice.
