Why study Physics and Astronomy at Manchester?

Study at one of the largest, most respected Physics and Astronomy departments in the country. Our exceptional reputation – exemplified by 13 Nobel Prize winners who have worked here – rests equally on teaching and research.

Today, we continue pioneering work on 2D materials, including graphene, first isolated by Professors Sir Andre Geim and Sir Konstantin Novoselov here in Manchester. Other research areas include nuclear and particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics. 

Our teaching facilities are enviable thanks to a £7.5 million building refurbishment and a £10 million extension to our Schuster Laboratory.
