Physics with Astrophysics, BSc (Hons)

Physics, the most fundamental science, explores the nature and properties of matter and energy, enabling its principles to apply across diverse industries.In astrophysics, extreme conditions like intense gravity, pressure, and temperature challenge core physics laws, yielding profound insights into the universe. This course enhances your grasp of fundamental physics and mathematics, covering classical and modern developments alongside advanced laboratory skills through hands-on experiments. Progressive modules delve into space physics, astronomy, stars and planetary systems, galaxies, and cosmology. In your final year, undertake a personal research project in a lab, with opportunities for undergraduate research from the outset. A high staff-to-student ratio ensures approachable lecturers and a supportive environment. The Physics Society hosts social events, trips to CERN, Munich, and Amsterdam, the annual Physics Ball, and peer mentoring across year groups.
