BSc (Hons) Physics with Astronomy
Course Overview
This astrophysics degree offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and unparalleled hands-on experience with world-class observational facilities. The program provides a strong foundation in core physics and mathematics while allowing for increasing specialization, with flexible options to transfer to other physics pathways. A major highlight is the direct access to the two-meter Liverpool Telescope on La Palma, one of the largest robotic telescopes in the world.
Key Program Highlights
- Hands-on observing experience at the Izana Observatory in Tenerife or a dedicated project at the Astrophysics Research Institute
- Direct access to the world-class, two-meter Liverpool Telescope on La Palma for final-year projects
- Use of the university's own city-centre observatory with a 12-inch computer-controlled telescope
- Flexible curriculum with the option to transfer to another physics degree after the first year
- Opportunity to upgrade to a four-year MPhys degree upon successful completion of the second year
