Welcome

| Welcome to the Department of Physics, part of the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Lancaster. We are proud to have been independently rated as one of the finest institutions at which to study Physics and one of the foremost research departments in the country. We believe that this combination of research and teaching excellence provides an environment highly beneficial to our undergraduates and academic staff alike.
We are consistently listed as one of the top dozen UK Physics Departments in newspaper league tables (The Guardian | The Times | The Independent).
In the most recent National Student Satisfaction Survey the Lancaster Physics Department was ranked top amongst the 5* research departments in the UK and the best in the North-West of England.
 In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, RAE2008, the Lancaster Physics Department achieved the highest quality profile amongst the 42 UK physics departments making submissions.
See the RAE2008 results.
In the previous Research Assessment Exercise, RAE2001, we gained the highest rating, 5*A: only Cambridge, Imperial College London and Oxford equalled this standard.
