Program Overview
On this course, you’ll spend a year studying theoretical physics at a top university in the USA, Canada, New Zealand or Australia. It's a great way to get an even bigger range of perspectives on physics and where it can take you, while you experience life in another part of the world.
In your first two years, you’ll do the essential physics that all of our students cover, including quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, special relativity and classical physics. You can study more advanced maths topics in the university’s School of Mathematics and Statistics, including calculus, geometry, differential equations, linear algebra, and mechanics and fluids. These modules give you a much more detailed understanding of mathematical concepts than our standard physics degrees.
In practical classes, you’ll run experiments using the equipment in our modern laboratories to help you understand how important theories apply to the real world. In programming classes you can learn skills that are key to theoretical physics and valuable in many graduate careers, from data science to computer game design. There are also optional modules on topics such as particle physics and the physics of music.
Your third year will be your year abroad. When you return to Sheffield for your final year, you’ll have a variety of optional modules to choose from and you’ll work on a major research project. You’ll choose a research topic in theoretical physics and work closely with a member of academic staff who is an expert in the area you want to explore. The project takes up around half of your final year and can lead to a publication in a scientific journal.
