Physics with Particle Physics, BSc (Hons)

This course offers an opportunity to learn from scientists involved in detecting the Higgs boson and gravitational waves, while exploring particle detection, key theories like relativity, and the laws governing the subatomic universe. Students will join efforts to search for dark matter, building foundational knowledge in physics through topics such as heat, motion, and quantum mechanics. In subsequent years, the program deepens expertise in particle physics, including modules on fundamental particles and special relativity, complemented by practical lab-based learning.The third year allows specialization in areas like nuclear physics and cosmology, with hands-on research projects, often linked to CERN and the Large Hadron Collider. As the UK's top physics department, the course provides access to cutting-edge facilities, research placements, and accreditation from the Institute of Physics, preparing graduates for careers at leading organizations like CERN and IBM.
