B.A. (Moderatorship) Honours (Level 8) - Physical Sciences - Physics and Astrophysics in Dublin 2 Ireland | Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin

The Physics and Astrophysics program explores the cosmos, investigating its origins and fundamental workings. By applying physical principles observed on Earth to astronomical scales and timeframes, we examine subjects like planetary system formation, stellar energy production and evolution, galactic structures and dynamics, and more.
This interdisciplinary course is based in Trinity's School of Physics while maintaining robust astrophysical connections across institutions. Our faculty lead research teams specializing in areas including light pollution analysis, radio astronomy, exoplanet detection, and stellar physics. Students learn to apply physical concepts to cosmic phenomena while developing computational proficiency. The curriculum culminates in a final-year Capstone project, allowing students to conduct original research in astrophysics or physics. Graduates typically gain expertise in observational data analysis, computational modeling, and processing large astronomical datasets.
