Physics is about deep questions and beautiful solutions

Physics aims to observe and explain the behaviour of the physical universe. It looks for laws which apply everywhere and to everything. One of the joys of physics is seeing how a simple principle, established after studying one problem, can go on to explain seemingly unrelated phenomena.

Our Physics Courses

Our undergraduate degrees explore fascinating theories about the properties of space and matter. Our research-active faculty experts and enthusiastic students interact to create a vibrant academic community studying cutting-edge physics.
