Welcome to Physics

We’ve put together some interesting resources and recordings for you to access prior to joining us in September and we hope you’ll find time to enjoy some of these over the Summer. We look forward to welcoming you here soon!

Royal Holloway is a major centre for Physics research-led teaching and our research portfolio has continued to expand since its origins in the late 1800’s. The department has world-leading expertise ranging from the study of supercooled liquids used by quantum computers to colliding particles close to the speed of light to learn about the fundamental properties of matter. In addition, over the last few years, four new lecturers have been appointed to work on astronomy and astrophysics, study supernovae, the collisions of black holes and the cosmological properties of the universe. You will be part of this research when you join the department as a member of our vibrant international community.
