The Department of Physics, part of the Faculty of Science of the University of Antwerp, focuses on creating a stimulating and dynamic environment to achieve maximal scientific results. The department strives to provide an excellent academic education, both in the Department of Physics and in other programmes in which Physics are taught.

The Department focusses on the quality of our research, and tries to find a correct balance between theoretical and experimental research and on the other hand, fundamental and applied research.  Furthermore we also take great interest in the aspect of social services.

The programme is closely related to the research domains of the different research groups we count in our Department. A perfect example is the English spoken Master programme, in which the different phenomena in Nanophysics are studied.
