The Physics Department is a thriving centre for research and education.
We are proud that our Department closely aligns the teaching and learning experience for its students with the research-intensive values and practices of the University. Research-led teaching is embedded at all levels from first year laboratory reports to our final year MPhys flagship individual research projects.
The Department incorporates the Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics, is home to the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology and the Institute for Computational Cosmology. The Ogden Centre is also the base for our innovative outreach programme for school children and their teachers.
The Department invites offer holders to attend one of our Post-offer Visit Days for an academic taster session. These will be ging with a Welcome Talk, and then offer-holders will be able to experience a number of typical activities that they would participate in as undergraduate students. There will be ample opportunities throughout the session to talk with both current staff and students about courses we offer.
