Programme structure

Programme Year One

The first year starts with a one week project to familiarise you with the staff and other students. There will be two Maths modules in each of the first two years, these are designed to provide the Mathematical skills required by Physics students.

Programme Year Two

In year two you will broaden your understanding of Physics, with modules designed to ensure you have mastered the full range of Physics concepts.

Programme Year Three

With the core physics modules completed in the first two years there is now considerable scope to choose amongst the optional modules available, mostly based around the research interests of the departmental staff.

Programme Year Four

In the final year of the course you will have considerable flexibility to choose between the many optional modules based around various astrophysics and physics research areas. You will also undertake an extended project with a member of staff, normally in their research area in astrophysics.
