About the course

Join a top 10 UK university for physics (The Guardian Best UK Universities 2024) in the vibrant capital city of Wales at Cardiff University, home to one of the UK's largest astronomy groups. This four-year MPhys Astrophysics degree offers in-depth study beyond a BSc, applying physics principles to explore astronomical phenomena and the Universe. Taught by researchers involved in groundbreaking discoveries like gravitational waves and black hole imaging, the course builds core skills in physics, mathematics, and observational astronomy, preparing graduates for careers in astrophysics, data analysis, technology, finance, or education.In the first year, students establish foundations in physics, mathematics, computing, and introductory astrophysics through practical experiments. Years two and three cover observational techniques, stars and planets, galaxy evolution, high-energy astrophysics, and cosmology, including projects with real data from global robotic telescopes. The final year features a significant research project, developing analytical skills for professional astrophysicists, such as analysing telescope data or modelling cosmic phenomena. Accredited by the Institute of Physics, this programme ensures industry-recognised qualifications.
