This degree will provide you with a broad knowledge of theoretical and experimental physics and astronomy. You will undertake projects in astronomy, either using the school's optical telescopes or its radio telescopes, or analyzing data brought in from state-of-the-art facilities like the Hubble Space Telescope. Theoretical project work can make use of the school's astrophysical supercomputing facilities. The MSci programme will lead you to the highest levels of astrophysics – your first published research paper may well arise from your MSci project work. You will have developed a thorough understanding of physics and astronomy, both through study and practical work. You will be prepared for employment in a range of areas, as well as for a career as a professional astronomer or physicist.
