Physics with Astrophysics

About this programme

Tailored modules such as Cosmology and Extreme Astrophysics will give you a specialist understanding of astronomy. You will have opportunities to conduct astronomical research by gathering data from our rooftop facilities and telescopes. Project work may involve analysing data from international facilities such as the Hubble Space Telescope or supercomputing cosmological simulations. Our research activities cover topics ranging from probing quantum mechanics at ultralow temperatures to understanding the largest structures in the universe.

We prepare you for life after university - we have an international Work Experience Showcase, which is an opportunity for you to find out about work experience, and our Faculty of Science Careers Team provides lifelong careers support, expert advice and guidance, individual appointments and help with CVs and job applications. We have a proud history of learning and innovation. Research undertaken within the School of Physics and Astronomy, by Professor Sir Peter Mansfield, was recognised with a 2003
