Physical Sciences

A man in a suit and glasses is centered in a collage with chemistry diagrams, a campus building, and students walking, overlaid with yellow diagonal lines and quotation marks in the top right corner.

“I hope you will take some time to explore the physical sciences at UCLA and discover for yourself what makes our departments some of the highest-ranked in the world.”

Three yellow octagons are evenly spaced in a horizontal row on a light gray background.
