Astrophysics holds the key – equipping you with the expertise, techniques, and understanding to examine the fundamental laws governing our cosmos. Our MPhys (Hons) Astrophysics degree enables you to delve into the building blocks of existence itself. You'll master diverse scientific approaches while discovering how physical principles govern celestial bodies and cosmic structures.
Here, you'll conduct research in cutting-edge facilities designed for hands-on astronomical data processing, simulation, and evaluation, building both practical skills and deep theoretical understanding. The program includes an optional international year, allowing you to study at a partner university or participate in a sanctioned research initiative. We maintain partnerships with global pioneers in astrophysics research, including NASA and the Southern African Large Telescope consortium.
