Best Universities in Europe for Physics & Astronomy 2026 - QS World University Rankings

The best universities with the study of physics, astronomy in Europe according to the QS World University Rankings offer undergraduate and graduate programs for international students.

Physics is the study of the Universe that focuses on nature, the properties of matter and energy. Physics includes astronomy - one of the oldest sciences: its study is suitable for students who want to gain a deeper understanding of the physical laws of the Universe. Both sciences are experimental natural sciences, so you will use scientific methods to formulate and test hypotheses based on observation of nature.

Physics programs cover particle physics, atoms, molecules, quantum mechanics, astrophysics, as well as cosmology, planetary geology, and astrobiology.

The dynamic field of astronomy and astrophysics is now becoming increasingly important. New generation instruments, located on the surface of the Earth and in space, allow us to study the origin, structure, evolution of planets, stars, star systems, the Universe more deeply than ever before.

Undergraduate physics and astronomy courses usually last three years, after the first years of mastering key concepts, you can tailor the curriculum to your interests. Both disciplines are an intellectual challenge that will require strong math skills.
