Physics

About this course

Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, addressing the deepest questions about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time. From the quantum behaviour of particles to the large-scale structure of the universe, physics provides the framework within which all other natural sciences operate, and it is a discipline that trains some of the most versatile and rigorous thinkers in higher education. The mathematical and analytical skills a physics degree develops are among the most valued by employers across every sector. At Sheffield Hallam University, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year and a sandwich year with work placements. The foundation year provides a supported introduction to the mathematical and physical principles that the main degree builds on, making the programme accessible to students who need a structured academic preparation before engagin
