Our staff have the enthusiasm and knowledge to inspire at all levels and our research, which covers a wide range of physics activity, was recognised for its outstanding international quality in the most recent Research Assessment.

We endeavour to communicate both the excitement of modern physics and a sound understanding of its fundamental principles.

We aim to:

• help you to understand the principles of physics
• provide a foundation for those wishing to pursue the profession of physicist or a related career
• enable you to develop key skills in problem solving, critical and quantitative analysis, communication and information technology
• enable you to develop practical skills in experimentation and measurement
• provide a friendly and supportive environment and enrich your learning experience through interaction with staff engaged in internationally respected research
• provide the opportunity for a broader education by offering a choice of units within the single honours programmes and a range of interdisciplinary degree programmes
