Physics and Astrophysics with a Year in Industry BSc at University of Sheffield

The year in industry is a one-year extension of the BSc Physics and Astrophysics with a Year in Industry degree. A year in industry will put your academic studies into context, and improve your skills and your employability.

This is a broad and intellectually stimulating degree that includes core physics knowledge and a thorough grounding in astrophysics. You'll study the workings of the universe, from the planets of our solar system to the most distant galaxies.

You'll learn how to analyse astronomical data, draw conclusions and present results. You can spend time in the astronomy laboratory and use our robotic telescope to take your own data. There are two projects to complete in your final year.

If you want to study physics, but don't meet the entry requirements to go straight into the first year, our Physics with a Foundation Year could be for you. After successfully completing the one-year programme, you'll progress onto the first year of your chosen degree.
