Particle Physics DPhil: University of Oxford

Research Programmes

• DPhil in Particle Physics

The work of this 5* Sub-department is in experimental particle physics and particle astrophysics. Particle physics is the study of basic constituents of matter and their interactions. This is accomplished either directly with accelerators that create the particles under study or by observing high-energy particles from outer space. Our Sub-department is one of the largest in the UK and is well equipped to carry out research in a wide range of topics, from the sub-structure of the proton to dark matter in the Universe. Our experiments are carried out at facilities around the world: Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Japan, USA and Canada.

Entry Requirements

A first- or upper second-class four year UK undergraduate physics degree or equivalent, normally with nuclear or particle physics content.
