Course summary

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.


Why study this course at the University of Glasgow?

Astronomy lectures are complemented by our observatory, planetarium and telescope facilities. You will learn how modern physics underpins our understanding of the universe.
