Our department is a great environment for learning, with small class sizes and close relations between staff and students. We offer a flexible range of undergraduate degrees, including joint degrees (e.g. Maths-Physics) and combined degrees (e.g. Physics with Geology) alongside a traditional single-honours Physics degree. Postgraduate degrees include the MSc Data Science and PhD in Physics. We run outreach events for local schools and for the general public.
We are a research-oriented department, and we do world-class research in both experimental and theoretical areas. Our research topics cover areas such as dynamical systems and chaos, astrophysics, the application of physics to biological systems, photonics, and plasma physics. We have strong links with the University's Institute for Complex Systems and Mathematical Biology (ICSMB).
