This is primarily a Physics degree emphasizing applications in astrophysics and space science. Students gain understanding of ground- and space-based technologies used to explore the universe and how modern science elucidates its workings. Astronomers pursue knowledge of underlying cosmic processes through physics, which broadly studies the fundamental laws and forces shaping the natural world. The core is an Institute of Physics-accredited honours BSc in Physics.
