BSc (Hons) Physics and Astrophysics

Our physics and astrophysics degree has more astrophysics content than most, taking you from stars and galaxies, to the origin of the universe. You’ll be trained to use the telescopes on our roof, and there is an annual field trip to an international telescope facility in the Canary Islands.
The University of Sheffield BSc in Physics and Astrophysics has more astrophysics content than other physics departments. Along with essential physics modules, 50% of your time here will be dedicated to studying everything from the formation of our solar system, to stars and galaxies and the evolution of our universe.

There are two telescopes on the roof of our building, which you’ll be able to use from your first year. We also run a telescope on La Palma in the Canary Islands, which students use during our annual field trip.

You’ll explore essential physics in even more depth in your second year, and continue to specialise in astrophysics with modules on the structure and evolution of stars and galaxies. Because we shape you into fully rounded scientists, you’ll learn through practical work with telescopes, and continue to develop your programming skills.
And because curiosity is what makes great astrophysicists, we’ll encourage you to dive into optional modules during your third year – exploring topics like dark matter and nuclear astrophysics, alongside core modules on cosmology.
After completing your own research project, you’ll graduate with all the tools you need to shoot for a stellar career in astrophysics – and beyond.
