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 academic and research excellence, we engage in nearly all modern research fields. Our department plays a key role in several Manchester-based interdisciplinary research hubs: 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. Theoretical physics research focuses on four primary domains: complex systems, quantum theories of matter and light interactions, nuclear physics, and particle physics. These areas are outlined briefly below, with additional details available on each research group's dedicated webpages.
