Overview

Are you fascinated by the smallest building blocks of the universe? Do you want to learn more about how they interact and how they give rise to the world we see around us? If so, then this Particle Physics course is for you!

In this Particle Physics for Elementary Particles course, you will learn about the fundamental particles that make up the universe, including quarks, electrons, and photons. You will also learn about the forces that govern their interactions, such as the strong force and the weak force.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Develop a solid foundation in particle physics, understanding the fundamental concepts and theories.
  • Explore the properties and interactions of elementary particles, unravelling the complexities of the subatomic world.
  • Gain insights into the structure and behaviour of the nucleus, expanding your knowledge of nuclear physics.
  • Understand the principles and workings of particle physics accelerators, key tools in the study of particle physics.
  • Learn about radiation detectors and their crucial role in detecting and measuring particles.
  • Gain an overview of the Standard Model, a fundamental theory that describes the known particles and their interactions.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
