WATCH:  Astrophysics at the UFS

Introduction

The University of the Free State (UFS) Department of Physics was one of the first departments established during the foundation of the UFS in 1904. Over the past century it has grown into a prestigious institution with research conducted in:
Energy Sustainability (SARChI Chair) / Material Science / Nano Science / Photoluminescence / Luminescent Solar Concentrators / Quantum dot synthesis / Segregation and diffusion / Thin films / Astrophysics

It is also the only institution in South Africa with exclusive access to an observatory and a digital planetarium in the form of the two observatories projects: Boyden Observatory and Science Centre & the Naval Hill Digital Planetarium (Old Lamont-Hussey Observatory).

At school and planning your future?

For those who are still at school and want to plan a future career path, see 'SA Institute of Physics'. This informative site will provide you with information on physics in South Africa as well as career opportunities in physics. Physics is relevant to many diverse career choices! Even if you don't major in Physics, you may want to include one or two courses in your learning programme at the UFS.
