Physics and astronomy are dynamic subjects that are continually being developed by new discoveries and innovations. You will be taught by research active physicists who have an outstanding international reputation in their research areas. Our distinctive MPhys Physics with Astronomy will build upon the MPhys Physics programme and give you a more advanced understanding of high-energy astronomy and the study of compact objects. You will cover topics such as solar flares, white dwarfs, black holes and quasars. In the second year, our top students have the opportunity to visit Tenerife for an intensive period of astronomical observation at the Izana Observatory. In your final year, you will study specialist topics at an advanced level and to acquire key generic and research scientific skills. You will also get involved with cutting-edge research projects, which often involve working with the latest results from international observatories.
