Research & Teaching

Physics education at the University of Antwerpen is organised in a bachelor/master structure. The bachelor programme includes the necessary basic knowledge of physics and mathematics. Part of the programma can be replaced by the student by a minor in a different discipline. Two minors can be chosen: biochemistry and mathematics.
The master programme is a training at an advanced level, followed by a specialisation in one of the following three domains: solid state and material physics, bio- and medical physics and elementary particle physics. These specialisations reflect the research strengths of the physics departement.

De research group for elementary particle physics performs experiments at different accelerators in Europe. Using electron-proton collisions observed with the H1 experiment at the HERA accelerator in DESY (Hamburg), different aspects of quantum chromodynamics are studied. The group also participates in the construction of the CMS experiment at the LHC accelerator in CERN (Geneva) with the aim to make observations relevant to supersymmetry and the Higgs particle.
