Physics with Astronomy & Space Science, BSc (Hons)

This is primarily a Physics degree, with an emphasis on the applications of physics in astrophysics and space science. Students will gain an understanding of how groundbased and space-based technologies are used to explore the universe and how modern science can be used to understand it. Astronomers pursue knowledge and understanding of the underlying processes at work in the universe through physics. Physics, in its broadest sense, is the study of the fundamental laws and forces that shape the natural world. The core of the degree is therefore an Institute of Physics accredited honours BSc qualification in Physics.
