A technology driven subject with a focus on enhancing human health and wellbeing, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of core engineering principles applied to the human body and biological systems. Alongside a core biomedical engineering degree course, there is also the option to experience a Year in Industry.

The single honours English Language and Linguistics degree gives you a solid foundation in the study of language and linguistics, and trains you in how to apply key concepts and techniques to the many real-life contexts in which language is used.

If you don't have appropriate qualifications in maths or science, this course is for you: the foundation year provides you with a concentrated course of maths, chemistry or physics, and engineering. On successful completion, you move straight into the first year of either our BEng or MEng degree course.

Develop your Japanese language skills and your historical knowledge alongside history modules which complement your Japanese studies and cover various political, social and cultural themes. You'll also spend part of your degree studying in Japan, immersing yourself in Japanese society.

Your study will cover theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electrical and electronic engineering. The core topics in this course include power systems, power electronics, digital electronics, circuits and devices, electrical machines and drives. In addition to the individual project in the third year you will work on a more research based group project in your fourth year.

You will study in Sheffield for the first three years of your course where you will cover the theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electrical and electronic engineering. In your fourth year you have the opportunity to put into practice what you have learnt by working for a year in an engineering company before returning to Sheffield for your final year of study.

This is a balanced course that develops your Chinese language skills and historical knowledge. History modules are designed to complement your Chinese studies. They cover various political, social and cultural themes. You'll also spend part of your degree studying in a Chinese-speaking society.

Develop the skills for a career in research, then put this into practice on your industrial placement. Previous students have completed placements in data science in the civil service and joined the Large Hadron Collider team at CERN. After your placement, you’ll join the theoretical physics research team here in Sheffield and run your own project.

Develop the skills for a career in research, whether you want to help answer complex questions raised by relativity and quantum mechanics, or help solve problems in industry. You’ll run your own research project and be trained by a member of staff who is an expert in the area you want to explore.

Study the maths and physics that govern the universe, and build up your CV with a work placement. Our students have used their numerical and problem-solving skills on placements in data science with the civil service and with the Large Hadron Collider team at CERN.

Examine the fundamental mathematics that has brought physicists ever closer to a ‘theory of everything’. You’ll explore the classical physics principles that defined scientific thinking up to the 20th century, and look in depth at topics like relativity and quantum mechanics.

This course is ideal if you want to help answer the biggest questions in the universe as a physics researcher. You'll learn how particles are detected, study key theories such as relativity, and join a research team that works on major projects at CERN and leads searches for dark matter.

Develop the skills for a career in research, whether you want to help map the universe as an astrophysicist or apply your scientific knowledge to solve problems in industry. Our physics and astrophysics degree has more astrophysics content than most others in the UK.

On this course, you can learn from scientists who helped detect the Higgs boson and gravitational waves, and who are leading searches for dark matter. You'll learn how particles are detected, study key theories such as relativity and examine the laws of the universe at the subatomic level.

This degree follows the same syllabus as the BEng Mechanical Engineering. Your learning is complemented with a year putting what you've learnt into practice, working with real mechanical engineers in industry. This will put your academic studies into context and improve your skills and employability.

Develop the skills for a career in physics research, whether you want to help decode the laws of the universe or contribute to new technological advances in industry. You’ll run your own research project and be trained by a member of staff who is an expert in the area you want to explore.

Study the laws of the universe and the science behind major technological advances. Learn about international experiments to search for dark matter, ways to make solar energy systems more effective and how the quantum nature of light can help us build even more powerful computers.

Put your physics knowledge into practice in the real world. As part of their degrees, our students have worked on new particle accelerators at government laboratories, applied their analysis skills to data science jobs in the civil service, and joined the Large Hadron Collider team at CERN.

This unique single honours course focuses specifically on the intersection of language and literature. As well as having access to a range of literature and linguistics modules, you will study dedicated modules that explicitly explore the relationship between literature and language.

Build up skills and experience that you can apply to a career in physics research. Our students have had placements ranging from government laboratories to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. After your placement, you’ll join a research team here in Sheffield and run your own project.
