MSci in Physics with Astrophysics (Faster Route)

University of Glasgow
Postgraduate Master in Science (with Honours) – MSci (Hon) Full-time 4 Years Physics and astronomy

About this course

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.

This is an MSci degree which explores physics and astrophysics topics in greater depth. The MSci aims to foster the development of critical judgement and independent scientific work, and to prepare you for professional leadership in your chosen field.
