The University of Manchester's Department of Physics and Astronomy ranks among the UK's most prominent and dynamic physics faculties. With a distinguished history of outstanding academic and investigative work, we engage with nearly all modern research fields.
Our department plays a key role in several Manchester-based interdisciplinary research hubs: The National Graphene Institute, the Photon Science Institute, the Manchester Centre for Non-Linear Dynamics, and the Dalton Nuclear Institute. We also oversee the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire as part of our operations.
Our Particle Accelerator Group concentrates on equipment related to high-energy particle studies and medical applications. This includes pioneering anti-hydrogen research, developing advanced machine designs for LHC luminosity enhancements, innovative plasma and dielectric acceleration methods, and cutting-edge Terahertz radiation technology.
