Cosmology, Galaxy Evolution & Gravitation

The ICG is an international centre of research excellence in cosmology, gravitation and astrophysics. We seek to understand the physics of the Universe and inspire the next generation of scientist through education, training and outreach. We also innovate using our advanced skills in mathematics and data science. Please follow us on Twitter for the latest news and opportunities to engage with our research.

The Institute is a member of many research projects – for further details on these and the areas of research the Institute is engaged in please click here.

ICG staff teach on undergraduate courses in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Portsmouth, including our MPhys and BSc Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology.
