What Our Students Say
We do our utmost to support our students; we are proud that in the most recent UK National Student Satisfaction Survey the Lancaster Physics Department was ranked top amongst the 5* research departments in the UK and our students expressed 100% satisfaction with the quality of their course.
Here are a few quotes from our past and present students:
"The lecturers are fantastic and will always make the time to assist when asked, as well as providing well-constructed lectures and notes."
Aimee Hopper
"My fourth year project... was the closest I came in an undergraduate context to experiencing a research environment, which in conjunction with the excellent supervision I received made me decide to stay on at Lancaster to do a PhD in the same area as my fourth year project."
Matthew Fear
"Studying MPhys Theoretical Physics gave me the opportunity to attend great lectures on material that I'd previously read about in popular science books, but didn't fully understand.
In my 4th year I studied the latest developments in theoretical condensed matter and tackled very interesting quantum systems using techniques I'd learned in my courses."
Chris Poole
"Coming to Lancaster University and studying physics was such an amazing experience.
I knew Lancaster was right for me from the warm welcome I received right from the start. The friendliness of the staff and all the support I had helped me to overcome my dyslexia, push myself and get my degree.
If it wasn't for my degree and all the extra-curricular opportunities in the department I wouldn't have got my wonderful job at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester communicating science."
Ruth Perkins
"I loved studying physics at Lancaster; the lecturers were really friendly and were always prepared to make time for you.
As a campus university Lancaster is naturally a very friendly place, but even more so within the physics department where everyone knows each other and your fellow students quickly become your best friends.
Since leaving Lancaster I have gone on to study for a PhD in Astrophysics at Manchester and have just started work in nuclear risk assessment. Although I have gone on to do some very interesting things, I will always have a soft spot for Lancaster."
