The School of Physics offers a wide range of degree programmes including Astrophysics, Biomedical Physics, Medical Imaging, and Quantum Science and Lasers; all rated excellent by the Quality Assurance Agency and informed by internationally excellent research. The School of Physics is part of the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences.

Our students

enjoy one of the most beautiful campuses of any UK university with guaranteed accommodation in their first year. We ranked 3rd in the UK for overall satisfaction in Physics and Astronomy in the National Student Survey (2009)**.

Our teaching

was rated 'excellent' in the last QAA report. Our tutorial and student support system was particularly praised and we have our own astronomical observatory and X-ray suite. Our four-year MPhys degrees can include a year's study in Australia, New Zealand or North America or a paid industrial placement.

Our research

includes Astrophysics, Biomedical Physics, Electromagnetic Materials and Quantum systems and Nanomaterials. We were ranked 8th in the UK for world leading and internationally excellent research*.

Our centres

for Medical Imaging, Energy and the Environment and Graphene Science apply our expertise to the real world, working closely with industry, government and the Health Service.

*RAE 2008 based on percentage of research categorised as 4* and 3*

**based on the percentage of positive responses for full service universities (ie, excluding specialist colleges)

Exeter astronomers discover ‘tilted planets’

Tilted planets

Research has added to a growing evidence that several giant planets have orbits so tilted that their orbits can be perpendicular or even backwards relative to their parent star’s rotation.

Funding boosts astronomy research

astronomy research

The funding will support high performance computing projects conducted by the Astrophysics Group.

We have places in our PhD physics programme.
