External Review of the Department

The department teaching and research has been evaluated by an external, international panel in May 2025, showing that indeed our department is an attractive place to be, both as a student and as a researcher:

”Overall, the study programme is well-structured and of highest quality. The physics teaching program in the BSc level is based on a modern syllabus making it very attractive to physics students from Denmark and abroad. Besides important core modules, the MSc program offers a broad variety of different specialization topics reflecting the comprehensive character of the DPA in terms of research. The teaching program also contains a balanced mixture of basic as well as applied subjects, and it provides direct research experience to the students at the highest international level.”

 “The department has world-class research staff with outstanding performance in science and teaching. The research environment is open and stimulating with great discussion culture and transparent, bottom-up organization of research and development. It is inline with the values established by the department and exemplified by rigorous quantitative assessment which compares them extremely favourably with average figures for universities in Denmark. The department stands out with their inclusive culture, and its strong sense of corporate / departmental identity.”
