Astrophysics

Astrophysics introduces you to the basics of physics and how this knowledge can be applied to the physics of astronomy. Recent discoveries have made it an increasingly popular study area. Astrophysics introduces you to the basics of physics and demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied to the physics of astronomy.

On this degree programme, we try to provide a unique and deep insight into the major scientific controversies of our time. Recently, there have been dramatic astronomical discoveries, and large amounts of data have been gathered. Therefore, this is a very exciting time to study astrophysics.

Compared to the BSc, our MPhys Astrophysics degree programme provides broader and deeper exposure to the concepts, methods and phenomena of physics. You will also gain experience of research work through an extended project. This provides a foundation for further research studies in physics.
