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.

Put your astrophysics knowledge into practice on a work placement and build up more experience for your CV. Placement opportunities include telescope facilities in the Canary Islands and Thailand.

Put your astrophysics knowledge into practice on a work placement. Placement opportunities include telescope facilities in the Canary Islands and Thailand. After your placement, you’ll join the astrophysics research team here in Sheffield and run your own project.

Explore the fundamental laws of the universe and learn about the development of pioneering technologies in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

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.

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.

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 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.

Explore the deep philosophical questions raised by modern physics. You’ll cover most of the same topics as students on our standard physics courses, and choose from a wide range of philosophy topics.

Prepare for a career in research, whether you want to focus on questions that physics raises about the nature of existence, or refine your logical thinking abilities to help solve problems in industry. In your final year, you’ll join a team of physics researchers and run your own project.

Learn about key theories, concepts and methods and use these to conduct your own analysis of how we are governed, and the different political systems, practices and institutions around the world. Use your theoretical knowledge to address topical debates, and undertake your own research.

By bringing together your study of politics and languages and cultures, you'll deepen your understanding of European culture and world affairs. Examine political issues from different cultural perspectives and set your study of languages and cultures in their broader political contexts.

This degree gives you the chance to really think deeper about some of the big debates going on in the world right now. You'll discuss questions of ethics, justice, legitimacy and human rights, and use your knowledge of philosophical and political theory to underpin your arguments. You'll learn about the thoughts of major figures such as Plato, Kant and Hegel, and analyse how these theories can be applied to current political issues.

This is the perfect course if you’re looking to understand how personal attitudes and experiences relate to wider issues in politics. You'll be able to explore modules from both disciplines, which means you can analyse key topics such as globalisation, migration and gender from a political perspective and then examine how issues such as these impact our society.

Understand the ideas and theories which shape our world. Learn how and why the three subjects are intrinsically linked, and how they've developed alongside each other. Develop analytical skills to help you evaluate the impact of government policies.

Studying politics, philosophy and economics with the Sheffield Methods Institute will help you understand the ideas and theories which shape our world.

Our accredited course covers the breadth of psychology. Study topics from social, health and clinical psychology, to cognitive and developmental psychology, neuroscience and psychological research methods.

Cover the breadth of psychology and apply your knowledge and skills with a year-long work placement. Study topics from social, health and clinical psychology, to cognitive and developmental psychology, neuroscience, and psychological research methods.
