理学士（荣誉）天体物理学和计算机科学

在基尔大学，学习联合荣誉学位将包括两个单一荣誉学位的一些模块。在这种情况下，您的程序将由天体物理学和计算机科学的模块组合而成。在天体物理学中，您将学习制定和解决问题-从原子核水平以下到天文尺度。无论物理定律是否在极限范围内进行测试，天体物理学都是活跃的。基尔（Keele）将帮助您使用天文观测，数学模型和计算机仿真来发展用于解释某些最复杂现象的理论。您将发展自己的数学和计算技能，并将其应用于解决实验室内外的一系列问题（您将可以使用Keele自己的现场天文台）。我们实行开放政策，使您可以方便灵活地与员工联系，
Discover more about the nature of our Universe and learn the tools and skills to develop future software systems on our Astrophysics and Computer Science BSc. This course will equip you with the advanced critical thinking, mathematical and problem-solving skills to prepare you for a variety of exciting career opportunities.Studying Astrophysics and Computer Science BSc provides you with the scope to develop your expertise in two fascinating areas.<br><br>In astrophysics you will apply physics to understanding how the universe works and possibly explore questions like 'is there an Earth-like planet around another star' 'Is there a black hole at the centre of every galaxy' And 'why is the expansion of the Universe accelerating' These are questions that astrophysics helps you discover the answer to.<br><br>Computer Science is informed by research and our content is kept up-to-date thanks to close interaction with our Industry Advisory Board. You will learn the key themes that underpin contemporary computer science, from programming best practices to the use of the latest tools and technology.<br>Astrophysics will give you the quantitative and analytic skills needed for analysing data and solving problems and is underpinned by a core physics curriculum as set out by the Institute of Physics. This includes the fundamentals of classical and quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, solid state, atomic and nuclear physics, together with the mathematics that is used to describe them. We have our own observatory here at Keele that students on this combined honours programme can get involved with on a volunteer basis with the potential to learn some astronomical techniques.<br>As you progress, you will build on your existing knowledge in familiar core areas of astrophysics including mechanics, relativity, nature of matter, gravitation, electricity, oscillations, and waves. You will also focus on areas like the basics of stellar structure and stellar astrophysics. Later in your degree you will get the opportunity to study at a deeper level topics such as electromagnetism, cosmology, black holes and gravitational waves in different modules.<br>In your final year you will be involved in a group project. In recent years these have been based on the analysis of data from NASA's Kepler and Tess missions and Keele's own robotic observatory in South Africa. The projects often contribute to the research conducted within the Keele astrophysics group.
