Learn about the physics of magnetic resonance and its real-world applications on this unique master’s course at the University of Southampton. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is crucial in providing insights for chemistry, biology and medicine. On this MSc you’ll benefit from hands-on experience with the latest magnetic resonance equipment. You’ll graduate with the knowledge and practical skills to move into industrial or academic research.

Magnetic resonance occurs when materials are placed in a strong magnetic field and exposed to radio waves.  

It is used in chemistry through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and in medical diagnostics through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

On this UK master’s course you’ll learn how fundamental physics can be used to help solve real-world problems: with this degree you could help develop new applications for diagnosing cancer or protecting the environment.

The topics you’ll study include:

• The dynamics of nuclear spins
• The practical aspects of magnetic resonance research
• Current problems in magnetic resonance research
• Numerical simulation methods

There’s a strong focus on practical experience throughout the course. We’ll teach you how to:

• Use modern magnetic resonance spectrometers
• Gather and process NMR data
