A broad spectrum of experimental research within atomic and subatomic physics and astrophysics is represented within the department. Activities focus on basic research as well as applications to the medical and nuclear power sectors. Much of the experimental research is conducted within large international collaborations, often centered around leading research centres.

The department gives basic and advanced physics courses for engineering physics students. The Master’s programmes “Modern Physics” and “Nuclear Energy Engineering” had in total 33 international students in 2008. The department has an active outreach programme and continues to collaborate with The House of Science.
