The University of Manchester's Physics and Astronomy Department ranks among the UK's most prominent and dynamic physics departments. With a distinguished history of outstanding teaching and research, we engage with nearly all modern research fields. Our department plays a key role in several Manchester-based interdisciplinary research centers, including the National Graphene Institute, Photon Science Institute, Manchester Centre for Non-Linear Dynamics, Dalton Nuclear Institute, and Mesoscience and Nanotechnology Centre. The department also oversees the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire. Our researchers actively pursue diverse physics projects supported by funding bodies such as EPSRC, STFC, BBSRC, the European Union, and industrial partners. Each research group benefits from state-of-the-art laboratories and computing resources while participating in numerous collaborative initiatives with both industrial partners and academic institutions across the UK and internationally.
