- We provide flexible courses in a friendly and supportive environment. Our degree programmes cover all the material needed for a career in physics, while offering students who want a broader education the opportunity to combine physics with modules from other disciplines – something we actively encourage as it helps to develop new ways of thinking.
- The Department has an excellent reputation for research and is ranked in the top ten in the UK by The Complete University Guide 2016 and in the top five by The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2016. With strong groups in astrophysics, condensed matter, elementary particles, plasmas and theoretical physics, we can ensure that undergraduate modules reflect the latest thinking across the whole discipline.
- Our recently refurbished undergraduate teaching laboratories are among the best in the UK. In their final-year project work, students work directly with research staff and have access to the Department’s internationally competitive research facilities.
