Advantages: Excellent lecturers and facilities, good connections with industry
Disadvantages: Uni location quite far from London Air Squadron

Not only does the universty have a large selection of excellent lecturers, but is also world-renowned for producing some of the best graduates around. This is helped by the fantastic facilities available to students studying in this faculty as well as the very strong connections with industry.

Advantages: Good optical research
Disadvantages: Research not varied.

Research facilities centre on optical techniques, such as spectroscopy and coherent source development but also includes nuclear and electronics research. A commercial facility is also affiliated to the department in the form of the Institute of Photonics and recently the Optical Materials Research Centre has become commercial. Located in the John Anderson Building off Rottenrow, the department enjoys an active social atmosphere and is highly recommended.... Read review
