Physics with Astrophysics and Cosmology

Our Physics with Astrophysics and Cosmology MSci course will give you an understanding of fundamental aspects of physics, astrophysics and cosmology covering areas such as special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, fields and waves, the physics of planets, stars, galaxies and the universe. Approximately one quarter of the course is astrophysics and cosmology related. You’ll carry out extensive astrophysics or cosmology related project work in your fourth year to gain an insight into the skills and conduct of scientific research. You’ll be taught by academic staff who have links to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and the LIGO gravitational wave observatory.
