What sets us apart

The School of Physical Sciences has been hugely successful in winning external research funding. Two of DCU’s four National Research Centres (Plasma Science and Technology and Sensors) and DCU’s largest Science Foundation Ireland Centre (Biomedical Diagnostics Institute) were established by School Professors.

Our activities strongly align with and support the overall University Strategic Plan in terms of academic excellence, educational transformation, engagement with enterprise and translation of knowledge for societal and economic benefit.

Please contact us at physics@dcu.ie if you are interested in our degree programmes or in pursuing postgraduate research in domains from nanoscale physics to astronomy and from photonics to physics education.
