BSc (Hons) Physics with Particle Physics
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive foundation in theoretical and experimental physics, with a specialized focus on particle physics in the later years. You will explore the subatomic world, from applying quantum mechanics to investigating contemporary searches for new particles beyond the Standard Model. The programme is uniquely informed by the School's direct involvement in major international experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Key Program Highlights
- Direct connection to cutting-edge research at CERN and the T2K neutrino experiment
- Develop highly sought-after skills in statistical data analysis, detector technology, and programming
- Final-year independent research project supervised by an expert particle physicist
- Flexible curriculum with optional modules across physics and astronomy
- Strong foundation in quantum mechanics and the fundamentals of the subatomic world
