Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Physics - Astrophysics

Physics is the most fundamental science, concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. This means physics-based knowledge can be applied across the depth and breadth of industry.

In the context of astronomical phenomena, circumstances may conspire to produce extreme physical conditions such as gravity, pressure, and temperature. 

The course will increase their understanding of fundamental physics and expand their mathematical skills. Students will study both classical physics and developments in modern physics and gain advanced laboratory skills and hands-on experience with challenging experiments.

As students progress through their studies, they'll study modules in astrophysics in more detail such as space physics and astronomy, stars and planetary systems, and galaxies and the universe.

In the final year, students will conduct a personal project which will involve practical experience in a research laboratory. They'll also have the option to take part in dedicated undergraduate research projects from the start of the course.
