Physics, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Put your physics knowledge into practice in the real world through a BSc in Physics with an Industrial Placement Year at Sheffield. Students apply their skills in areas like particle accelerators at government labs, data science in civil service roles, and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The program explores the laws governing the universe, from galactic structures to the resonance of a violin, while emphasizing practical learning through lab-based activities and international experiments on dark matter and quantum computing.In the first two years, you'll build a foundation in fundamental theories like heat, motion, and quantum mechanics, then customize your studies with options such as advanced programming. Year three involves real-world placements, followed by a final year of advanced modules in particle physics, nuclear physics, and semiconductors, culminating in hands-on research projects. Why choose this course? Sheffield's physics department ranks No. 1 in the UK for research excellence, offers more astrophysics content than most, provides state-of-the-art equipment including rooftop telescopes, and connects students to global opportunities like CERN and observatories.
