Physics “ Having access to amazing facilities like the telescope has helped me to develop many skills and gives a real insight into what we learned in lectures. All the academics are inspiring and do really cool and interesting research and you get a lot of support from them.” Alanis BSc Astrophysics

Physics at Royal Holloway • We are a highly-respected centre for physics teaching and research; our world-class research positively influences our teaching and makes our degrees intellectually stimulating. • Our students carry out an individual final-year project embedded in our research groups; Quantum, Nano-, Theoretical, Particle, Astroparticle and Accelerator Physics. Our research is carried out in our department as well as major UK and international laboratories such as CERN, National Physical Laboratory, ISIS Neutron source and Diamond light source. • We place an emphasis on small group teaching with an excellent staff-to-student ratio. We consistently receive the highest overall student satisfaction scores in the University of London in annual National Student Surveys. • The department holds ‘Juno Champion’ status from the Institute of Physics and the Athena SWAN Silver Award, recognising our efforts to promote inclusivity.
