About this course
Develop your knowledge of new concepts and paradigms in astrophysics, enhacing your understanding and appreciation of nature through deep conceptual frameworks. Make a note of the UCAS code for the course you want to apply for: Our students often say their enthusiasm to study Physics stems from a wanting to learn about the Higgs particle, dark matter, nanotechnology or just a wide-ranging curiosity about how things really work. Whatever your reasons, our Physics department aims to inform and excite you in the study of Physics, the most fundamental of the sciences. On our three-year Astrophysics BSc, you’ll come to understand new concepts and paradigms, developing the deep conceptual framework that will allow an advanced understanding and appreciation of nature. You’ll develop core Physics concepts, including classical physics, quantum phenomena, optics as well as mathematical and experimental skills. The emphasis will shift then to astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology, and in later years you’ll cover topics such as Stellar Astrophysics and General Relativity & Cosmology.
