About the course

Enrol at a top 10 UK university for physics (The Guardian Best UK Universities 2024) in Cardiff, the vibrant capital of Wales, to pursue a four-year MPhys degree in Physics with Astronomy. This programme delves into the science of the universe's evolution, from its origins to newly discovered astronomical phenomena, offering deeper study than a BSc. Graduates pursue diverse careers in technology, finance, education, or research, with the MPhys providing an excellent pathway to becoming a research scientist. At Cardiff, one of the UK's largest astronomy groups drives groundbreaking discoveries, such as gravitational waves and black hole images, ensuring students learn from leading experts to build essential physics skills and specialised astronomical knowledge.In the first year, core modules establish foundations in physics, mathematics, and computing, alongside practical lab experience. Later years allow optional modules on topics like planetary properties, observational techniques, quantum mechanics, star formation, astrophysics problems, cosmology, and galaxy evolution. Students undertake projects using data from the global Las Cumbres Observatory network and complete a significant final-year research project, honing analytical and problem-solving skills for professional roles. Accredited by the Institute of Physics, this course suits those curious about astronomy without full commitment to astrophysics.
