Explore the laws that underpin the entire universe with BSc Physics with Particle Physics & Cosmology. From the fundamental building blocks of our universe to the vast celestial bodies that make up the night sky, youll study in a friendly and supportive environment.<br/><br/>Search for answers to the biggest questions by exploring the smallest particles and their interactions. Build problem-solving, programming, mathematical and teamwork skills giving you a competitive edge when job hunting. <br/><br/>Develop a broad understanding of the essential concepts of physics and cosmology. You’ll learn from global experts taking part in cutting-edge research at CERN and other international laboratories and observatories. You could even visit CERN yourself and have a tour around the lab. Study topics including quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, the structure of the universe and observational cosmology.<br/><br/>You’ll benefit from state-of-the-art study spaces, computing suites and laboratories. Our research spaces include our own particle accelerators, the MC40 cyclotron for charged particles and HF-ADNeF, the most intense accelerator driven neutron source worldwide, as well as labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics used in the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.<br/><br/>As a Birmingham Physics graduate, youll have a broad range of options for the future either working directly in a scientific environment or using transferable skills in different roles.
