BSc Physics with Astrophysics

Program Overview

• Our Physics with Astrophysics programmes focus on the core of mainstream physics, but also provide a balanced understanding of modern observational and theoretical astrophysics, from planets and stars to galaxies and cosmology
• BSc research projects are often based on data from world-class ground and space-based facilities and state-of-the-art computational codes for theoretical astrophysics
• Observational astrophysics is taught using our recently upgraded teaching observatory
• Learn within a supportive community characterised by genuine student-staff relationships and small tutorial groups, typically made up of five students
• Opportunity to join a close-knit student society with great social events throughout the year
• Benefit from access to advanced research facilities including clean-rooms, a helium liquefier, a water tank, amplified ultra-fast laser systems, and a suite of instruments for imaging biological materials
