Physics with Astrophysics (with a year in Industry) - MPhys (Hons)

University of York

Astrophysicists look to the skies to discover more about the nature of our Universe. From the nuclear reactions that power our sun to the mysteries of dark matter, you'll study the great challenges of cosmology in topics aligned with our active research. To explore the cosmos you'll need grounding in many disciplines of physics, from optics to electromagnetism, quantum physics to classical mechanics. You'll learn key skills for analysing real-life problems, write scientific reports to industry standards, communicate complex concepts, and solve mind-bending astronomical puzzles. Spending a year on a paid industrial placement gives you the chance to gain real-world experience, enhancing your degree and your CV.
