My boyfriend is doing physics here at Nottingham.

There's a lot of research going on - one of his lecturers won the Nobel prize for medicine this year for developing a new way of taking brain scans. (somehow related to physics...too hard for me to understand!)

And there's a whole building dedicated to magnetic resonance research...although I don't think first years can use it.

Other than looking at the uni website there's not a lot more info I can give you about physics here! Although feel free to PM me and I'll ask my boyfriend about it :smile:

There's some other threads on here about Notts at the moment, so read them if you want more general info (although try and ignore people's negative comments - you won't get 'cut up' for being black and it's not full of people with guns.... :rolleyes:

)

Va va voom who posts here is hopefully studying at Notts next year - she's from Japan and has visited England before to see her grandmother who lives in London. You could always PM her for an outsider's view on the UK. :smile:

As there are at any uni, there are both 'studious' and 'going out' types.

Any questions about Notts, feel free to ask (3rd year medic)

thank you so much everybody!

i have lots of questions =) [about physics in birmingham (for Nylex), nottingham, or imperial. any of them]
how do you find it?
do the professors teach? (i mean, i heard from a friend who go to US that at some schools, lots of courses are taught by teaching assistants/grad students. how is it there?)
how about research?

just some random question... is physics a popular subject? how about the male:female ratio?
