From nano- to extragalactic-scales, our courses cover the underlying principles by which the Universe operates with a modern curriculum that builds a solid foundation in fundamental physics, paired with opportunities to engage in current research. We seek to give students the physical understanding and the experience needed to excel in multiple disciplines through a variety of tracks ranging from pure Physics, to Astronomy, Engineering and Education.
