Physics and Astronomy

Be the one who discovers a new planet

A team at Queen Mary found a new exoplanet called "Proxima b". Study with us and you could you be the next one to make another extraordinary discovery.

Why Physics and Astronomy at Queen Mary?

As a Russell Group university with a difference, we are fascinated by the study of the universe: from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic. If you are the same, then studying with us could be a great option for you.

We know that physics and astronomy are awe-inspiring subjects, and that access the world-class teachers and excellent resources enables our students to achieve great things. The academics who teach you have been involved in some of the most exciting discoveries of the past 100 years, such as the discovery of the W, Z and Higgs boson particles.

We also know that a degree in physics or astronomy is a fantastic start to a career and our graduates go on to an incredible range of meaningful and well-paid careers. That’s why our degrees combine the academic rigour and facilities of a Russell Group university with an enriching programme of employability opportunities and a supportive environment.

For five years’ running, our students have voted us top in London for overall satisfaction in the National Student Satisfaction Survey (2014 – 2018).
