Department of
Physics

We ask and attempt to answer a range of fundamental questions about our Universe. The department has active research groups in the following areas: Astrophysics & Cosmology; Atomic, Molecular, Optical & Plasma Physics; Condensed Matter Physics; Gravitational Physics; High Energy Physics; Non-linear Dynamics & Statistical Physics and Soft & Living Matter Physics. A more granular listing is available on our Research page.

The department is committed to imparting high-quality education and mentoring. Our faculty are involved in four teaching programmes: the five-year BS-MS dual degree programme (that admits students after high-school), an Integrated PhD programme (that admits students with a Bachelors' degree), a PhD programme (that admits students with a Masters' degree) and a new Masters' programme in Quantum Technology, that has been launched from the 2024-25 academic year.
