Physics explores both the practical and theoretical aspects of matter, energy, and their interactions, spanning from elementary particles to nuclear and atomic physics, solid-state physics, and even the beginnings of the cosmos. Our faculty members hold key positions in groundbreaking global initiatives like CERN's Large Hadron Collider and the LIGO gravitational wave detector. This program holds accreditation from the Institute of Physics. Alongside lectures, students benefit from access to our Garscube Campus observatory, planetarium, and telescope resources. Additionally, our school boasts two student-led societies, PhySoc and AstroSoc, fostering academic and social engagement.
The expertise in scientific principles, along with mathematical and analytical abilities gained, prepares graduates for diverse career paths in sectors such as aerospace, electronics, semiconductor technology, energy, telecommunications, IT, healthcare physics, academia, business, and government roles.
