Physics is the study of nature in its most comprehensive form. Researchers in physics uncover the fundamental workings of the cosmos and apply these discoveries to advance human knowledge and technology. Our program offers a balanced approach to both theoretical and practical physics.
Acquire profound insights into core physics principles, ranging from cosmic events to subatomic particles. Throughout the program, you'll master classical physics concepts while exploring cutting-edge developments in contemporary physics.
During your fourth year, you'll undertake an independent research project with hands-on laboratory work. Potential projects include developing optical methods to analyze cancerous cells or studying positron interactions in photovoltaic materials to detect atomic imperfections affecting efficiency.
The University of Dundee's physics department has significantly influenced modern technology. Our researchers pioneered LCD screen technology during the 1970s and 1980s. In recent years, we've contributed to understanding exoplanet formation and developed optical measurement tools for CERN's research facilities.
