We are immensely proud of what our city and our University will offer you.

Focussed research is pursued in the following fields: • Mathematics, represented by the Mathematical Sciences Research Centre; • Theoretical Physics, which includes the Centre for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (CTAMOP) and the Atomistic Simulation Centre (ASC); • Experimental Physics, which includes the Centre for Nano-structured Media (CNM) and the Centre for Plasma Physics (CPP); • Astrophysics, represented by the Astrophysics Research Centre (ARC). • Research in Mathematics is represented by the Mathematical Sciences Research Centre (MSRC) grouped around the following main themes: Algebra, Analysis, Data Science, Optimization and Operational Research, Statistics, Topology and Geometry.
