Undergraduate programs
From the infinitely great to the infinitely small.
- Are you fascinated by astronomy?
- Are you intrigued by subatomic particles?
- Are you interested in the physics of life?
Our Physics Programs might just be what you are looking for.
The fundamental science that deals with the properties of matter and whose principles govern natural phenomena, physics underpins all the natural sciences. Cutting-edge technologies owe much to major advances in physics. A rich, lively and dynamic discipline, physics is at the forefront of technological innovation, at the heart of new sectors of both, fundamental and applied research.
The Department of Physics brings together a diverse team of 30 teachers and nearly 60 researchers and technicians, including discoverers of extrasolar planets, maker of nanostructures and polymer-based electronic compounds, researchers of dark matter and Higgs boson, modelers of the quantum world, inventors of solar energy materials and investigators of cell function.
Contribute your talents to exciting projects in renowned teams and benefit from world-class research facilities!
« I felt welcomed in the department, student life is dynamic and students are involved. »
