Biophysics

Biophysics is a transdisciplinary frontier of science in which the principles and techniques of physics are applied to study living things and how they work. York’s program in Biophysics is a four-year specialized honours degree which spans fundamental physics and its application in medicine, aging and disease, biophotonics, vision and biosensory physics, and neurophysics.
