On November 19th at 10AM California time the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UC Davis will be hosting a 2-hour online open house to introduce prospective graduate students to our PhD program. Students will be able to meet with faculty and current graduate students to learn about our graduate program, research, and life at UC Davis. Additional information about the event, and to register, can be found at the following link:

UC Davis is a highly ranked public university (#5 according to the 2022 WSJ/Times Higher Education College Rankings). Our Department of Physics and Astronomy provides a dynamic and diverse environment for the training of graduate students. The department has large and active research programs in the core areas of condensed matter, high energy physics, and cosmology, and also includes a number of vibrant smaller programs, in areas such as fields/strings/gravity, nuclear physics, high energy astrophysics, biophysics, complexity, computational science, and quantum information science. The opportunities for our students are almost limitless, and our PhD graduates go on to prestigious postdoctoral positions and excellent industry placements.
