Astrophysics takes physics to the largest scales imaginable - from stars, planets and black holes to galaxies and the evolution of the Universe itself. Throughout this degree, you’ll study the fundamental laws of physics while learning how they help us understand some of the most extreme and fascinating objects ever discovered. You’ll build a strong foundation in core physics and mathematics, alongside specialist astrophysics topics such as stars, galaxies, exoplanets, black holes and cosmology. Astrophysics is increasingly data-driven, using observations from telescopes, satellites and space
