You’ll gain a strong foundation in physics, mathematics and computation, while developing specialist knowledge in areas such as:
- cosmology
- planetary science
- high-energy astrophysics.
You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside faculty at the forefront of astrophysics. Their work involves observing the electromagnetic signals from distant sources outside the Milky Way, all the way back to the light echo from the Big Bang. Their collaborations include the James Webb Space Telescope, ESA’s Euclid mission, the Simons Observatory and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. This research directly influences your teaching.
You’ll join our friendly, supportive community. Lecturers operate an open-door policy, so you’ll always find help if you need it.
You’ll learn to analyse data, model complex systems and interpret astronomical observations. In your final year, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a year-long project that will take you to the frontiers of modern research. This advanced research will be in an area that inspires you, such as simulating galaxies or working with observation data from a telescope to decode the earliest moments of the universe.
Transferable skills gained include programming with Python, statistical analysis and advanced research skills. When you graduate, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to pursue a range of careers in academic research, data science, finance and programming.
