BSc (Hons) / MPhys Physics with Astrophysics

University of Hull, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Physics with Astrophysics encourages you to delve into the makeup of the universe: exploring topics from planets in our solar system to distant galaxies and abstract phenomena, as you study with experts.

The University’s expertise was recognized as far back as 1969 when we were one of the scientific centers chosen to carry out tests on samples gathered from the Moon by Neil Armstrong’s historic Apollo 11 mission.

We'll give you the theoretical and practical tools to reveal and understand the underlying laws that govern the universe – from the smallest sub-atomic particle to the grand scale of cosmology.

But don't just take our word for it. Astrophysics at Hull is ranked 1st in the UK for Overall Student Satisfaction*.
