The School of Physics and Astronomy is an academic department within the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
The school was formed in 1993 by a merger of the Department of Physics and the Department of Astronomy, both at the University of Edinburgh. The Department of Physics itself was a merger between the Department of Natural Philosophy and the Department of Mathematical Physics in the late 1960s.
