3.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Physics with Astrophysics With a Year Abroad

Astrophysicists look to the skies to discover more about the nature of the Universe.

From the nuclear reactions that power the sun to the mysteries of dark matter, students will study the great challenges of cosmology in topics aligned with York's active research.

To explore the cosmos students will need grounding in many disciplines of physics, from optics to electromagnetism, quantum physics to classical mechanics. They'll gain foundational understanding of fundamental physics, scientific principles and methods. Students will learn key skills for analysing real-life problems, write scientific reports to industry standards, communicate complex concepts, and design and solve complex astronomical puzzles.

Gain unique global experiences spending a year at one of York's partner universities. Students can boost their confidence by immersing themselves in a different culture and gain valuable language skills for their CV.
