Physics with Astrophysics MPhys
Course Overview - Physics with Astrophysics MPhys
Our Physics with Astrophysics MPhys degree extends our Physics with Astrophysics BSc by a year.
This extra year is for your integrated Masters and includes an extended project.
Compared to our Physics with Astrophysics BSc, our Masters degree offers more in-depth study in the final year. Youll also complete a significant extended project, performing research level investigations of Astrophysics in areas like:
general relativity
geophysical and astrophysical fluids
You’ll also gain hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities, developing the skil...
