Physics

About this course

Physics is humanity's most fundamental attempt to understand the universe: its laws, its structure, and the forces that govern everything from the subatomic to the cosmological. It is a discipline built on mathematical rigour, careful experiment, and the willingness to revise even the most established ideas when evidence demands it. The knowledge physics has generated underpins virtually all modern technology, from semiconductors and lasers to medical imaging and satellite navigation, and the ways of thinking it develops are among the most transferable of any degree. At the University of Sheffield, this three-year full-time BSc in Physics is an accredited programme that equips you with the fundamental knowledge and skills every physicist needs. You will study classical and quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and statistical physics, progressing to more advanced topics i
