Space-related degrees and FE courses

Physics with Particle Physics & Cosmology

Master's (4 years) at University of Birmingham

Explore the fundamental building blocks of our universe with MSci Physics with Particle Physics & Cosmology. With advanced study and independent research, you'll thrive in a friendly and supportive environment. Search for answers to the biggest questions by exploring the smallest particles and their interactions. Build problem-solving, programming, mathematical and teamwork skills giving you a competitive edge when job hunting. From quantum mechanics and nuclear physics to the structure of the universe and observational cosmology, join us to study the essential concepts and specialist topics. You’ll learn from global experts taking part in cutting-edge research at CERN and other international laboratories and observatories. You could even visit CERN yourself and have a tour around the lab. You’ll benefit from state-of-the-art study spaces, computing suites and laboratories. During your final year you’ll join a research group and apply your knowledge to an individual project, developing high-level research skills. Our research spaces include our own particle accelerators, the MC40 cyclotron for charged particles and HF-ADNeF, the most intense accelerator driven neutron source worldwide, as well as labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics used in the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. As a Birmingham Physics graduate, you'll have a broad range of options for the future either working directly in a scientific environment or using transferable skills in different roles...
