BUSSTEPP 2024
53rd British Universities Summer School in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics
27th August - 7th September 2024
BUSSTEPP is a long-established summer school for Ph.D. students in theoretical particle physics who have completed a year of graduate studies. Having built a very strong international reputation for almost 53 years, it has been supported by STFC or its predecessor to provide a comprehensive and in-depth overview of research in elementary particle physics.
We are proud to host BUSSTEPP '24 at the University of Sheffield.
STFC-funded and self-funded students are fully supported. If you are EPSRC funded, an EU-funded student employed at UK universities, or a student in other categories, please contact us:

The same address should be used for general enquiries.
The programme includes:
Advanced Quantum Field Theory (Emmanuel Stamou - Dortmund).
Beyond the Standard Model (Laura Covi - Göttingen).
Modern QFT for Real-World Gravity (Scott Melville - Queen Mary).
Cosmology (Enrico Pajer - Cambridge).
AdS/CFT (Carlos Nunez - Swansea).
Lattice Field Theory (Vera Guelpers - Edinburgh).
Phenomenology (Veronica Sanz - Sussex).
String Theory (Thomas van Riet - Leuven).
Additional lecturers include Francesca Chadha-Day (Durham), David Marsh (King's College London), Dan Tovey (Sheffield) and Matt Mears (Sheffield).
Following the BUSSTEPP tradition, all students will have the opportunity to briefly present their research interests to their peers.
