Physics at Liverpool

The Liverpool Physics Department is committed to providing all of our undergraduate and postgraduate students the opportunity to realise their maximum potential as a physicist. We are currently ranked as a UK top 10 physics department when it comes to the quality of our research (REF2021). A wide range of research is performed in our department across particle physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, accelerator science and physics education research. The department's commitment to teaching excellence is bolstered by its Physics Education Research Cluster, where an evidence-based approach is used to explore and improve physics teaching and learning.

Particle Physics Research

Liverpool has one of the largest and most active Particle Physics groups in the UK. The Particle Physics Research Cluster has leading involvement in a wide range of experiments and activities internationally, with close links to major international Particle Physics laboratories such as CERN (Switzerland), Fermilab (USA), and JPARC (Japan). Our programme includes working at the energy and precision frontiers of physics and in studying the properties of quarks and neutrinos. As a team of almost 90 researchers including theorists, programmers, engineers, technicians and students we are a leading centre for the study of the fundamental properties of the universe.
