Bachelor of Science - Astrophysics (F511)

The BSc Astrophysics degree covers core physical and mathematical concepts with a clear focus on our interpretation of the Universe. The course is designed to give a thorough education in theoretical aspects of physics and astrophysics and an understanding of observational astronomy.

In their first two years, students will study a core component of physics and astrophysics modules, delivered to you by a range of teaching methods. In their third year they will study advanced astrophysics and astronomy topics in detail, with additional optional modules. Students will also undertake an astrophysics research project.

The course aims to prepare them for a career in industrial or academic research and development, education or other sectors which require a practical, numerate and analytical approach to problem solving.
