Sustainable Technology
Sustainability is a priority for the University of Liverpool and can be found in both the teaching and the research activities within the Department of Physics.
Teaching
Sustainability is embedded throughout the physics curriculum at the University of Liverpool enabling students to prepare for a career that directly addresses sustainability challenges in society. Our modules are delivered by world-leading researchers that are actively working in the topics of their modules.
Modules, including core topics in condensed matter physics, the physics of renewable energy, and the applications of semiconductors are delivered by members of the Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy (SIRE), a specialist research institute, aiming to transform the future of energy generation, storage, transmission and energy efficiency.
Our teaching in nuclear physics, nuclear power and nuclear technologies prepare students to address the UK and world-wide nuclear skills gap. Our research is supporting the future of nuclear power in the UK through partnership and projects with Sizewell C.
