Ignite your passion for space exploration and the cutting-edge technologies that make it possible. This MPhys Physics with Space Science program lets you dive into diverse topics, from astronomy fundamentals to satellite engineering and cosmic phenomena. You'll gain insights from current research while developing sought-after skills in this rapidly growing field - the global space industry is projected to nearly double by 2030. The degree also provides excellent preparation for doctoral studies. You'll investigate unique space-based observations like solar winds and geomagnetic disturbances while merging physics theory with aerospace engineering concepts to understand spacecraft development. A highlight includes the Tenerife field trip, where you'll collaborate with an international, multidisciplinary team to conceptualize a space telescope, design its instruments, and strategize its deployment. The curriculum covers all core physics subjects of the Masters program with a specialized focus on space science applications.

Subjects of Study
Language Requirements
English
IELTS 6.5
Qualification Requirements
A-levels - A*AA-AAA including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A)
or
AABB-AABC including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A)
A-levels additional information
Successful applicants will be invited to visit the department and attend an optional interview. The optional interview may lead to a lower offer.
A pass in the science Practical is required where it is separately endorsed.
Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking.
Applicants who have not studied mathematics/further mathematics and/or physics at A-level can apply for the Engineering/Physics/Mathematics Foundation Year
A-levels with Extended Project Qualification
If you are taking an EPQ in addition to three A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer: AAA including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A), plus grade A in the EPQ
A-levels contextual offer
We are committed to ensuring that all applicants with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise an applicant's potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme, as follows: AAA or AABC including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A)
International Baccalaureate Diploma - Pass, with 38-36 points overall, with 19-18 points required at Higher Level, including 6 at Higher Level in mathematics (Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation) and 6 at Higher Level in physics
IELTS - overall score 6.5 with other component (reading, writing, speaking, listening - 6.0)
TOEFL iBT- 92
