All our Physics students study the same core of fundamental physics and maths, based on the Institute of Physics (IOP) 'core of physics' material. This includes classical mechanics, waves and fields, electromagnetism, special relativity, thermodynamics, and quantum and atomic physics. By choosing the Physics with Space Science degree, you will study these alongside specialist space science options and participate in research projects covering the significant areas of space science research. We have one of the largest campus-based space research centres in Europe, and the space science and technology options that you will study are based on the research we do. This includes a strong involvement in the BepiColombo mission to Mercury and detector design and development for satellites like the joint US-UK-Italian €˜Swift, a remarkable observatory designed to study the most powerful explosions in the Universe.
