Teaching

The Faculty of Science at UEA does not have a separate Physics School. Instead, physics is taught in all of the Science Schools with a range of modules available at all undergraduate levels. There are about 25 members of staff in the Science Schools who call themselves ‘physicists’ and there are also close links with the physicists in the Research Institutes on the Norwich Research Park and at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

Students can take these physics modules as part of their undergraduate degree programme, as either core or optional modules depending on the structure of the degree. Students undertaking the BSc (Hons) in Natural Sciences can take a physics major as part of the programme (more details at: http://www.uea.ac.uk/nat/).

Some of the physics modules which are taught across the Science Faculty can be found here.

Research

Research involving physics and physical principles is undertaken across all of the Science Schools, as well as Schools in the Faculty of Health. A Physics Centre – COPHIS – which brings together staff and students from across the University and the Norwich Research Park, has been established. Please click here for further information.
