Welcome to the School of Physics

Physics lies at the heart of most science and technology. Even modern biology seeks to analyse many of the processes of life in terms of physical laws. The search for a fundamental understanding and the drive towards technological development in areas such as computer hardware continue to pose fresh challenges to physicists. They are tackled with a combination of experiment, theory and computation. Our undergraduate degree courses combine all three of these elements, and prepare the student for a wide range of careers.
