We offer undergraduate programmes leading to degrees in Physics or Joint degrees in Physics and a second discipline. Graduate programmes are offered at the M.Sc. Experimental, theoretical and computational research topics include non-linear dynamics, membrane biophysics, polymer physics, magnetism, optical and vibrational spectroscopy, atomic collision, ocean acoustics, and ocean circulation. The Department operates helium and nitrogen liquefiers and a machine shop.
Undergraduates gain experience with a wide range of computing resources.
For example, in Physics 1054, Computational Physics and Data Analysis, the Microcomputer Physics Laboratory is used to explore topics in Statistical Analysis, Mechanics, Oscillations, Waves and Sound. Available programme electives include Optics, Astrophysics, Introductory Physical Oceanography, Fluid Mechanics, and Non-linear phenomena. Many Physics students find summer employment with a research group.
