Course summary

**Course Overview**- Did you ever wonder how stars and galaxies came to be? Astrophysics can provide the answer – with the skills, methods and knowledge to investigate the physics of our universe.- Studying our Astrophysics MPhys (Hons) programme offers the opportunity to explore the very fabric of our universe. You’ll develop skills in various scientific methods, while learning how physics applies to stellar objects and systems.- With us, you’ll work in a state-of-the art learning environment for practical analysis, interpretation and modelling of astronomical data, developing a sophisticated practical and theoretical knowledge base. You’ll also get the chance to spend a year abroad, whether studying at a partner institution or working with an approved research project. We collaborate with some of the world’s leaders in the field, including NASA and the Southern African Large Telescope.- By the time you graduate, you should leave us with well-developed excellent observational, mathematical and logical skills, coupled with keen problem-solving abilities. It’s the kind of mix that’s attractive to employers in a wide range of sectors – from medical physics and education to oil and gas.**Why study with us**- Learn at one of the UK’s best-equipped teaching observatories, with our recent £200,000 investment in probably the most powerful modern optical telescope available in the country.- Master of Physics in Astrophysics is ranked 6th in the UK with 88% of students satisfied with learning opportunities (National Student Survey 2020).- This course is recognised by the Institute of Physics – you’ll qualify for student membership, and for Membership as a graduate.
