可选的基础年。物理学与粒子物理学和宇宙学学位课程是为寻求对最小粒子，它们的基本相互作用以及它们在宇宙如何开始和可能发展中的作用的更深了解的学生而设计的。这得益于伯明翰粒子物理学家和天文学家在CERN和其他国际实验室和天文台从事前沿研究的专业知识。在该学位课程中，您将学习核心物理学科，例如经典和量子力学，电磁学和相对论，但此外，您还将学习粒子物理学和宇宙学的专门课程。另一个特点是，学生可以在第二年或第三年访问欧洲核子研究中心，并在伯明翰物理学家的指导下参观实验室。
Our stimulating Physics with Particle Physics and Cosmology BSc degree programme enables you to focus on the fundamental building blocks of our universe searching for answers to the biggest questions by studying the smallest particles and their fundamental interactions. This Physics with Particle Physics and Cosmology BSc degree course draws on the expertise of Birmingham particle physicists and astronomers engaged in cutting-edge research at CERN and other international laboratories and observatories. This will enable you to gain strong theoretical and practical skills from experts in their field.<br><br>You will gain a broad understanding of the essential concepts of physics, ranging from entropy to quantum mechanics and beyond and in addition you have specialised courses in particle physics and cosmology. Another feature is that you will have the opportunity to visit CERN during your degree and have a tour of the laboratory guided by Birmingham physicists who work there.<br><br>There are many opportunities to undertake project work during your degree, for example as part of your lab work in the first two years. A project develops a wide range of skills including planning and report writing. Group studies in your final year is a major project which is undertaken in groups of 10-20 students. The task requires the group to work as a team and enables you to solve a problem of much greater magnitude than could be attempted by an individual. The team work skills and transferable skills learnt here are invaluable in success in a future career.
