**About the course**
This course is for you if you’re an academic high-flyer. It offers you the exciting opportunity to work on a cutting-edge research project here at Sussex each summer and get funding to cover your living expenses during that time.
You’ll join our experts and immerse yourself in world-class research. From exploring the smallest particles to the overall structure of the universe, you’ll have the opportunity to work on any of our areas of expertise. In your integrated Masters year you’ll also develop advanced physical skills through working further with one of our expert departmental research groups.
Once you’ve joined us, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise in what inspires you most:
• Physics
• Astrophysics
• Theoretical Physics
You’ll be part of a close community – our lively Physics Society arranges regular social events. Our building is a real hub of activity. You’ll have all your practical sessions in our modern teaching laboratories. Outside the classroom, you can study or catch up with your friends in our popular student spaces.
**Accreditation**
This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics.
**MPhys or BSc?**
We also offer this course without the industrial placement year, with research placements, as a three-year BSc, or as a four-year BSc with an industrial placement year.
**About Sussex**
Sussex graduates change the world. Our students become the leaders of the future, making discoveries, improving lives and changing things for the better.
Study with us to join a welcoming and inspiring community of staff and students from more than 140 countries.
**Location**
We shape the world from a fantastic campus on the UK’s beautiful south coast.
We are the only UK university surrounded by a national park, so you can step off campus to explore the hills and woodlands of the South Downs. The vibrant, colourful and creative seaside city of Brighton & Hove is just nine minutes away.
With Brighton voted the happiest city in England for students, (Student Living Survey, Sodexo, 2018) there can be few better places to study.
