Physics and Astrophysics

About this course

Physics and astrophysics is a degree that takes you to the largest and smallest scales of the universe, from the quantum behaviour of subatomic particles to the formation of galaxies and the dynamics of black holes. Physics is the fundamental science, seeking the laws that govern all matter and energy. Astrophysics applies those laws to the cosmos, asking how stars form and die, what dark matter and dark energy are, how the universe began, and what its ultimate fate might be. The combination gives you the theoretical depth of physics alongside the awe-inspiring scope of cosmological inquiry. At the University of Sheffield, this MPhys programme is fully accredited and designed for students who wish to pursue physics and astrophysics at the highest level. You will develop a thorough grounding in the core areas of physics, including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics,
