Physics
At UEA, physics is truly interdisciplinary, exploring how the subject blends with fields such as chemistry, computing, mathematics, and geography.
We are active in fields as diverse as quantum physics, geophysics, chemical physics and fluid dynamics. Our theoretical and applied research investigates topics such as the structure of molecules, ultrafast lasers, and the movements of ocean waves. Our courses bring together expertise from across the Faculty of Science to deliver exciting, diverse and cutting-edge teaching, backed by pioneering research.
