Physics with Astrophysics, BSc (Hons)

Physics stands as the most fundamental science, exploring the nature and properties of matter and energy, with applications spanning various industries. In astrophysics, extreme conditions like intense gravity, pressure, and temperature challenge core principles, yielding profound insights into the universe.This course enhances your grasp of fundamental physics, mathematical abilities, and both classical and modern developments, while building advanced laboratory skills through hands-on experiments. You'll delve into astrophysics modules, including space physics, astronomy, stars, planetary systems, and galaxies. In your final year, a personal research project offers practical lab experience, complemented by early opportunities for undergraduate research. A high staff-to-student ratio promotes a supportive environment, and the Physics Society organizes social events, trips, and guidance from peers to navigate challenges.
