The University of Sheffield
Department of Physics and Astronomy

Undergraduate study in Physics and Astronomy

Physics and Astronomy are about more than numbers and formulae. They are driven by imagination and the excitement of discovery. You'll be using your scientific knowledge and creativity to explore and challenge ideas about the physical world – right from the miniscule sub-atomic world of quarks and gluons to the vastness of the universe.
