Course summary
We have a proud history of learning and innovation. Research undertaken within the School, by Professor Sir Peter Mansfield, was recognised with a 2003 Nobel Prize for the invention of Magnetic Resonance Imaging body scanners. This technology has already helped more than half a billion people worldwide. More recently, our use of quantum technologies to understand how the brain works is changing the way that neurological conditions are detected and treated. We have been ranked joint third in the UK for research quality in physics (Research Excellence Framework 2014). We have excellent facilities for research, including the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre. Our research groups are:
- Astronomy
- Condensed Matter Theory
- Experimental Condensed Matter and Nanoscience
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy
- Particle Theory
- Ultracold Atoms
- paid work placements
- training courses
- public engagement opportunities
