Physics with Astrophysics

Newcastle University

During your three-year Physics with Astrophysics BSc, you'll specialise in astrophysics and study:advanced astronomystellar structure and evolutioncosmologyhigh-energy astrophysics and black holesThese modules are unique to our Physics with Astrophysics degrees. But you’ll also study a set of physics modules which are common across our Physics BSc courses.You’ll gain hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities, developing your practical skills.By the end of your degree, you’ll have a strong understanding of physics and advanced mathematics. You'll be prepared for a range of careers in research, industry, and beyond.Flexible degree structureOur flexible degree structure allows you to tailor your studies. All students follow the same curriculum in Stage 1, and begin to specialise in Stage 2. You can transfer between Physics disciplines until the end of Stage 1. You can also switch between the BSc and MPhys of your chosen discipline until the end of Stage 2:Physics BScTheoretical Physics BScPhysics with Astrophysics BScYou'll graduate with an accredited degree and an interdisciplinary skillset in-demand with employers. This course is also ideal for someone interested in pursuing research or further study in physics or mathematics.Our MPhys degree includes an additional year of advanced study at master’s level, where you will gain a deeper understanding of the subject to prepare you for a career in this challenging field.
