Program Overview
Course overview
Our four-year Physics with Astrophysics degree provides a deep understanding of physics and a thorough grounding in advanced mathematics. You'll apply physics, mathematics and computation to understand the origin and evolution of the universe.
Hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities is embedded throughout the degree and will develop your practical skills for a wide range of physical science careers.
Guided by our world-leading academics, you'll study a broad range of cutting edge physics modules in the first two years. Your third year will allow you to specialise in astrophysics by selecting modules such as relativity and cosmology, stellar structure and evolution and interstellar medium.
Your final year includes advanced research-driven modules covering galaxies, astronomical fluids and general relativity.
BSc or MPhys?
Physics with Astrophysics is offered at two levels:
Our MPhys degree includes an additional year of advanced study at master’s level, where you will gain a deeper understanding of the subject to prepare you for a career in this challenging field.
