Course summary

• Our Physics with Astrophysics programmes focus on the core of mainstream physics, but also provide a balanced understanding of modern observational and theoretical astrophysics, from planets and stars to galaxies and cosmology

• BSc research projects are often based on data from world-class ground and space-based facilities and state-of-the-art computational codes for theoretical astrophysics

• Observational astrophysics is taught using our recently upgraded teaching observatory

• Learn within a supportive community characterised by genuine student-staff relationships and small tutorial groups, typically made up of five students

• Opportunity to join a close-knit student society with great social events throughout the year

• Benefit from access to advanced research facilities including clean-rooms, a helium liquefier, a water tank, amplified ultra-fast laser systems, and a suite of instruments for imaging biological materials
