At York University, we offer a broad mix of experimental, theoretical, and computational experiences in Physics, Astronomy, and Biophysics at both undergraduate (B.Sc.) and graduate (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) levels in a research-intensive environment.
Isaac Newton Apple Trees at York
It’s been said that an apple falling from a tree in Isaac Newton’s family’s garden in 1666 inspired him to formulate his theory of gravity. York University’s Keele Campus is home to trees descended from that very same apple tree! Read an article about these trees published just in time for the annual Gravity Day (9/8) at this link.
