Welcome to Physics.
Physics is often described as the most fundamental, yet fascinating, division of all the natural sciences. Its theories endeavour to describe behaviour from the smallest building blocks of matter to the vast universe and everything in between.
A thriving and growing Department, we aim to provide an academically stimulating and supportive environment for all our students.
