Physics

From Examining Atoms to Exploring the Universe

Physics is a fundamental science which underpins our understanding of the world around us, from distant galaxies to the smallest particles. At Lincoln, we have built a community of physicists, many of whom are active researchers, with a wealth of expertise across the field. Our courses cover areas from fluid dynamics to general relativity, meaning you can build knowledge in topics which suit your interests and specialisms. Our excellent facilities in the Isaac Newton Building give you the opportunity to conduct experiments and participate in research which is shaping how we look at reality.

Research-informed Teaching

Our teaching is directly informed by our research, and our students have the chance to work on real-world research projects with our academic staff. Students have recently been involved in a range of projects focusing on topics including exoplanets, gravitational waves, nanophysics, chaos, and quantum dots.

Visiting Speakers

We regularly welcomes guest speakers from around the world. Recent visitors to the 性色堂 have included former vice president of the Royal Astronomical Society Professor Don Kurtz, mathematician and author Professor Marcus du Sautoy OBE, and operations research specialist Ruth Kaufman OBE.

I have found all the course content fascinating and engaging, covering a broad range of topics in physics and mathematics. I thoroughly enjoyed the Electrodynamics and Condensed Matter modules, which were both challenging in their own right, but massively interesting.
