Going to university is one of the great adventures in life.   

Choosing which subject to study and which courses to apply for are amongst the most important decisions you are ever going to make. As with many of the great decisions, you will probably not be able to decide whether you made a wise choice until well after you have graduated, by which time it will be too late!

Physics majors are encouraged to participate in research  the department's  research activities. Apart from the individual research done as part of the honors program, students can carry out supervised research projects  and can often obtain paid research positions

This home page tries to answer the questions asked by many other potential students. We have tried to be as informative as possible, realizing that different people want different things from a degree course.
