Course summary

Develop the skills for a career in physics research, whether you want to help decode the laws of the universe or contribute to new technological advances in industry. You鈥檒l run your own research project and be trained by a member of staff who is an expert in the area you want to explore.


Study the laws that shape the universe, from the structure of galaxies to the resonance of a violin, and develop the skills for a career in physics research.

You鈥檒l work alongside scientists who are leading international experiments to search for dark matter, finding ways to make solar energy systems more effective and studying the quantum nature of light to help build even more powerful computers.And at Sheffield, you鈥檒l also learn how practical, lab-based learning brings the theories learned in lectures into the real world. Your journey into physics begins with heat, motion, quantum mechanics and the other fundamental theories behind everything.In year two, you鈥檒l explore essential physics in even more depth, and tailor your degree as you choose from options where you can learn how stars and galaxies are structured, how particles are detected, or the physics of music. Programming classes will teach you skills that are valuable in many graduate careers, from data science to computer game design.In your third year, you can branch out into multiple areas with modules on topics like particle physics, nuclear physics and semiconductor technologies. And of course you鈥檒l have the chance to complete your own research project or industrial group project, giving you hands-on experience investigating a real-world physics problem.A variety of optional modules are also available in the fourth year, when you鈥檒l be working on a major research project. You鈥檒l choose a research topic in physics and work closely with a member of academic staff who is an expert in the area you want to explore. The project takes up around half of your final year and can lead to a publication in a scientific journal.
