Bachelor of Science - Physics with Astronomy (F3F5)

The BSc Physics with Astronomy has an emphasis on astronomy and observational techniques and is ideal for those interested in fundamental questions about Universe.

Accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), this course aims to prepare students for their career in industrial or academic research and development, education or other sectors which require a practical, numerate and analytical approach to problem solving.

In first two years, students will study a core component of physics and astrophysics modules, delivered to them by a range of teaching methods. In their third year students will study advanced astrophysics and astronomy topics in detail, with additional optional modules. They will also undertake an astrophysics research project.

Students will be part of a friendly and welcoming department currently housed in the Queen’s Building complex, which contains a wide variety of purpose-built laboratories, lecture theatres and computing facilities.
