The Department of Physics and Astronomy has been part of the University of Victoria since its inception in 1963.
We are best known for our exceptionally strong, internationally recognizedresearch programs in particle physics, and astronomy and astrophysics. Our faculty members also maintain very active research programs in the areas of theoretical physics, ocean physics, condensed matter physics and medical physics.
These research disciplines historically developed as a result of close interactions with federal research laboratories and other facilities in and around Victoria, such as:
1.Herzberg Institute for Astrophysics
2.TRIUMF (Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics)
3.Pacific Geoscience Centre
4.Institute of Ocean Sciences
5.Vancouver Island Cancer Clinic
