Summary

Develop your understanding of the relationship between the physical laws of the universe and the astrophysical and cosmological domains. We conduct world-leading investigations in space and planetary science, observational astrophysics, and observational and theoretical cosmology - and this directly informs what you learn!

In Year 1 you will study core modules that provide you with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of physics and you will also perform laboratory experiments with our state-of-the-art equipment and associated software.

In Year 2 your core modules start to delve deeper into astrophysics with fascinating lectures in cosmology, astronomy and solar system science.

In Year 3, you study two optional modules and three core modules.

How do I choose my optional modules in Year 3 and 4?

There are two ways you can do this:

Option 1

Keep your horizons open and explore your interests by selecting any optional modules from across our broad spectrum of topics, subject to prerequisites.

Option 2

We have grouped together a selection of modules to create pathways that help guide your choices so that you can focus on your specific area of interest. These pathways are:

  • Cosmology
  • Space Physics

We'll ask you to indicate your preference for one of our pathways from Option 2 near the end of Year 1. The modules recommended for each pathway can be found in our subject brochure.

In Year 3 you will also complete a research project. If you've selected the Cosmology Pathway, you will take the Cosmology or Astrophysics Group Project module, otherwise you will take the Astrophysics Group Project module.
