Course summary

On this course, you can learn from scientists who helped detect the Higgs boson and gravitational waves, and who are leading searches for dark matter. You'll learn how particles are detected, study key theories such as relativity and examine the laws of the universe at the subatomic level.


Join the search for dark matter, learn from scientists who helped detect the Higgs boson and gravitational waves, and examine the laws of our universe at the subatomic level.

Particle physics is central to some of the biggest recent discoveries in science, and a BSc in Physics with Particle Physics is the best first step you can take to making your own contribution.Like every physics student at Sheffield, your journey begins with heat, motion, quantum mechanics and the other fundamental theories behind everything.In year two, you’ll explore essential physics in even more depth, though you’ll also be starting to specialise in particle physics, with modules on the detection of fundamental particles and special relativity. And at Sheffield, you’ll also learn how practical, lab-based learning brings abstract lecture topics into the real world.Year three is where you can branch out into lots of different areas like nuclear physics and cosmology – all while completing your own research or industrial group project in an area which sparks your curiosity. In fact, because of our close connections with CERN, students often work on projects related to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.Whatever opportunity you take, you’ll graduate with hands-on experience investigating real-world physics problems and the skills to chase down a solution.
