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