Study with Us
Teaching in Physics is strongly influenced by our research based in our three research clusters: Astronomy, Biomedical and Climate, Ocean & Exposure Science . Physics is challenging, interesting, relevant, and it can prepare you for great jobs in a wide variety of places. Why not pursue a physics degree with us here at the University of Galway and let us share our knowledge and enthusiasm with you?
From day 1, you can follow a direct path to obtaining a degree in Physics by registering for our denominated programme, GY320 (which has degree options in Applied Physics, Astrophysics, Climate Physics, Biomedical Physics and Theoretical Physics) or you can keep flexibility in your subject choices by registering for Undenominated Science, GY301 - this route gives you access to the Applied Physics and Climate Physics options. If a course in Occupational Health and Safety Management (GY313) enthuses you, we also have you covered.
