How do I obtain information on Physics and Astronomy research in Glasgow?
The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 and is the fourth oldest University in Britain. Glasgow has a long tradition as a centre for the study of Physics and Astronomy. Physics was taught from an early stage in the history of the University and reached world-wide prominence with the work of Lord Kelvin in the 19th century. In its present research activities, the laboratory is one of the foremost in the UK and its work is internationally recognised. This work is organised around the following research groups: • Institute for Gravitational Research • Particle Physics Experiment • Particle Physics Theory • Astronomy & Astrophysics • Solid State Physics • Nuclear Physics • Optics • Microwave Thermography Information is available on the departmental website, http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk. You can find the summaries of the activities of each research group at http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/research/ and specific information on postgraduate opportunities at http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/pos
