Our Physics with Astrophysics (BSc) program allows you to join one of two dedicated astrophysics research groups. You'll receive guidance from professional astrophysicists and collaborate with them on research projects.
Astrophysics offers a unique perspective. Thanks to advancements in space technology and gravitational wave detection, many groundbreaking discoveries during your career may emerge from this field.
Unlike traditional physics, we can't perform direct experiments on celestial bodies due to their immense distances and scales. Our approach involves interpreting observations by applying core physics principles - including mechanics, quantum theory, relativity, and thermodynamics - to understand phenomena across the cosmos, from exoplanets to entire galaxies.
The curriculum explores fundamental physics concepts and their astrophysical applications. First-year studies focus on categorizing celestial objects and observational techniques. Second year delves deeper into solar system dynamics and stellar physics. Advanced years offer specialized topics like cosmology, exoplanet research, compact object physics (covering black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs), general relativity, and solar physics.
Throughout your studies, you'll benefit from direct mentorship and project collaboration with practicing astrophysicists.
