Physics with Astrophysics MPhys Hons

Develop your understanding of the relationship between the physical laws of the universe and the astrophysical and cosmological domains. We conduct world-leading investigations in space and planetary science, observational astrophysics, and observational and theoretical cosmology - and this directly informs what you learn!  In Year 1 you will study core modules that provide you with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of physics and you will also perform laboratory experiments with our state-of-the-art equipment and associated software. In Year 2 your core modules start to delve deeper into astrophysics with fascinating lectures in cosmology, astronomy and solar system science. In Year 3, you study a wide variety of optional modules and core modules. In your final year, you specialise further by selecting more optional modules, alongside undertaking an independent MPhys Project within your area of interest.
