About Physics With A Year In Industry Bsc in University of Sheffield
The year in industry is a one-year extension of the BSc Physics degree. A year in industry will put your academic studies into context, and improve your skills and your employability.
The course covers all the essential knowledge and practical skills of the physicist. There are opportunities to specialise in different branches of the subject and take part in real research projects.
Lab work links to what you learn in lectures. In the first and second years there is dedicated time set aside for experimental work in our modern labs. You'll learn how to present results, analyse data and assess errors.
Computer programming is an essential part of academic and industrial research. We teach in a variety of languages including Matlab, Python, and Labview. And we'll show you how to use Excel to analyse data.
We encourage you take part in field trips throughout your course. You could find yourself investigating dark matter 1km underground at Boulby Mine or 2,400m above sea level at the observatory in the Canary Islands. We also send students to CERN in Geneva, for visits and on work placements.
You will spend a year between levels two and three on your work placement.
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.
