Astronomy and Physics
An undergraduate physics and astronomy degree allows students to explore the fundamental laws of nature, the behaviour of matter and energy, and the structure and evolution of the universe. It provides a strong foundation in core physical sciences while offering opportunities to specialise in areas such as astrophysics, particle physics, cosmology, and space science.
The programme offers the opportunity to study core subjects including classical mechanics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and observational astronomy. Students also gain practical experience through laboratory experiments, telescope observations, computer simulations, and research projects, developing analytical skills and technical expertise in scientific investigation.
Why study Undegraduate Degree in Astronomy and Physics?
Studying physics and astronomy at undergraduate level is a chance to combine theoretical understanding with practical exploration, preparing graduates for careers in research, aerospace, data science, and technology. Career opportunities also include roles in education, engineering, and scientific communication, with the option to progress to postgraduate study or professional scientific accreditation.
