Course Description
Physics with Astrophysics: In this degree programme the study of physics is particularly focused on astrophysical phenomena: from stars and planets to galaxies and cosmology. Astrophysics provides a natural laboratory in which to explore the laws of physics, and in certain astrophysical objects – such as pulsars, quasars and black holes – to test those laws under extreme conditions. Astronomy lectures are complemented by our observatory, planetarium and telescope facilities. You will learn how modern physics underpins our understanding of the universe.
