Course summary

The Foundation Year, which covers core concepts in Physics and Mathematics, is a great way to gain the knowledge and skills needed for your Astrophysics undergraduate degree. The Foundation Year is integrated, meaning youll be taught in the same department on the Singleton Campus throughout your four years.

On completion of the Foundation Year, you will spend three years studying towards your undergraduate degree, which will take you on a journey to unlock the mysteries of the Universe!

Our Astrophysics programme is designed to offer a wide range of learning opportunities to enrich your academic journey and give you the skills you need for your future. You will gain a solid understanding of fundamental concepts and techniques, forming the foundation needed to unlock the secrets of the cosmos. Building on these foundations and taught by active researchers, youll delve deeper into the Universe, studying topics such as stellar evolution, galactic dynamics, gravitational waves and cosmology.

You will go beyond lectures, with hands-on practical experience using telescopes and detectors, and analysing real astronomical data. Your final year project allows you to conduct your own independent research in an astrophysics area, potentially using data from an observatory field trip.

Our programme aims to create well-rounded astrophysicists equipped with not only the necessary scientific knowledge and skills but also the critical thinking, communication, and adaptability to thrive in the ever-evolving world of scientific exploration and discovery. Your Astrophysics Journey Awaits!
