Our Astrophysics BSc (Hons) combines analytical reasoning, mathematical problem‑solving, and scientific curiosity to explore how the universe works, from the subatomic quantum world to the largest cosmic structures.
We are proud of our cutting‑edge research environment, where world‑leading experts work across a broad spectrum of physics, including semiconductors, nanophysics, lasers, antimatter, quantum fields, and the early universe. This research directly informs our teaching and provides an inspiring environment for your studies.
You will go well beyond lectures, gaining hands‑on experience using telescopes and detectors, and working with real astronomical data. Our programmes develop a strong foundation in physics while equipping you with analytical, computational, and observational skills valued across many scientific and technical sectors.
A highlight of our degree is the opportunity to undertake advanced research projects, often at the forefront of physics, supervised by internationally recognised academics. Our extensive collaborations with major facilities, including CERN, provide exciting opportunities for student projects, internships, and research experience.
Our programme aims to develop well‑rounded astrophysicists with the scientific expertise, critical thinking, communication skills, and adaptability needed to thrive in an ever‑evolving world of scientific discovery.
From September 2027, the Physics Department will be based at the Bay Campus, where all Physics programmes will be taught, benefitting from our advanced research laboratories and state-of-the-art facilities.
