Study Physics in Ireland
Trinity College Dublin Ireland
Trinity College, one of Europe's oldest and most respected universities, lies
at the very heart of Ireland's capital city. Its historic buildings represent
a famous tradition in both arts and science. Modern laboratories and research
facilities now offer an inspiring environment for the study of physics, in a
department that excels by international standards.
The FitzGerald Building, completed in 1906, still
houses part of the Physics department.
Various undergraduate courses are offered in which physics is a major component.
Each of these is a four year course, leading to an honours degree which is
officially recognised by the Institute of Physics (the professional body for
physics in the UK and Ireland.)
Undergraduates enjoy a close relationship with staff of the Department. There
are ample facilities for study, and students run their own Physical Society.
Graduate students are recruited from all over the world, and contribute to
strong research programmes in materials science, nanotechnology, astronomy,
information and communications technology, and computational physics.
Together with our highly distinguished academic staff (three Fellows of the
Royal Society), a large international community of postdoctoral fellows and
our strong technical support staff, they form a lively intellectual
community.
The
Blue Plaque commemorating ETS Walton, Nobel Laureate in Physics 1951
Choose to study physics at Trinity, and enjoy life and learning in the university
which has educated many great physicists in the past - Hamilton famous for
quaternions and for his formulation of Newton's mechanics, FitzGerald of the
FitzgGerald-Lorentz contraction in Relativity theory, Walton who with Cockcroft
'split the atom', and many others. Trinity published what is claimed to be the
first physics textbook for undergraduates (in 1739) but is 'bang
up-to-date' with the latest exciting developments in the subject, and is
networked into European research throughout the continent.
