MPhys Astrophysics (Foundation Entry)

Course Overview

Youll gain an understanding of how to apply physics to the stars and galaxies which make up our universe, whilst developing skills in scientific methods. During your MPhys (Hons) Astrophysics course youll have access to specialist laboratory facilities for the study of nuclear physics, mechanics, optics, quantum physics, laser physics, spectroscopy, and astrophysics. And our Physics Teaching Laboratories have benefitted from an investment of over £40,000 in new equipment. Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you dont have the necessary formal qualifications to enter directly onto your chosen Honours degree program. Theyre a great stepping stone to a full degree.
