Mphys Physics with Particle Physics

The Physics with Particle Physics degree from the University of Sheffield is a four-year Integrated Masters (MPhys) programme that offers students an in-depth exploration of standard physics while focusing particularly on the nature and interactions of particles that make up the universe. Course Content: Throughout the course, students will study the core elements of physics such as quantum mechanics, relativity, and thermodynamics, while delving into specifics of particle physics in their later years of study. The strong emphasis on particle physics includes exploring quark and lepton physics, and the experiments that reveal the nature and interactions of these fundamental particles.Key Modules: Some key modules that are integral to this course include "Fields, Flows and Waves", "Thermal and Statistical Physics", "Physics of Stellar Evolution" and "Concepts in Quantum Mechanics" in the earlier years. Later years feature modules such as "Nuclear Astrophysics", "The Physics of Elementary Particles", and "Advanced Quantum Field Theory".Accreditations: The degree is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP).Future Careers: Successful completion of this course opens up varied career opportunities for students, including research in academia, medical physics, scientific computing, and data science, and roles in the engineering and energy sectors. The course may also lead to future study and research at PhD level.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
