Would you like to be at the forefront of scientific discovery? Astrophysicists look to the skies to learn more about our universe. You’ll see inside world-leading investigations in astrophysics, cosmology, and space and planetary science; learn about preparations for upcoming satellites and missions as well as using data from current spacecraft and facilities like the Hubble Space Telescope, the Juno spacecraft, and the James Webb Space Telescope. Get hands-on tackling genuine scientific work informed by research-led teaching, setting you up for your future career.


Broaden your horizons
Enrich your university experience with a year spent overseas at one of our partner universities. Head out in Year 3 to start your adventure and immerse yourself in a different cultural and academic community. We’ll support you all the way!


What to expect
Our four-year BSc Hons Physics with Astrophysics (Study Abroad) degree starts with a first year that is common across all our single-honours physics degrees as we teach the fundamentals to provide you with a solid foundation for Years 2 and beyond. You may discover that your interests change throughout the year, and you have the flexibility to switch to any other of our degree schemes until the end of Year 1. Core topics include mechanics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, and electricity and magnetic fields. It’s so much more than lectures and workshops; you’ll spend time gaining hands-on experience with experimental physics in our state-of-the-art labs.


As you progress into Years 2 and beyond, you will delve into key astrophysical concepts, such as the dynamics and content of the universe, stellar structure and evolution, and the physics of planetary systems. You will take modules tailored towards your interests, enabling you to explore the frontiers of astrophysical research such as the formation and structure of galaxies, space plasma physics and cosmological inflation.
There are opportunities to undertake significant project work, focusing on a key topic in contemporary physics research.
