天体物理学理学士（荣誉学位）

我们的理学学士学位和具有天文学的MPhys物理学课程将使您对传统物理学的所有核心要素（例如粒子物理学，原子和分子，量子力学和天体物理学）有透彻的了解。您可以通过从一系列可选模块中进行选择来定制课程，并且在第一年还可以在我们的任何专业物理学学位之间进行切换。您将受益于我们物理系中广泛的设施，包括翻新的本科教学实验室和新的天文学生观测台。您将有机会在我们的研究团队中进行研究项目，或者选择在我们杰出的研究实验室中进行您的最后一年的研究项目。我们力图让学生参加我们在MPhys课程上的主要国际天文学实验室的研究工作
Our BSc and MPhys Physics with Astronomy courses teach you about our place in the cosmos. Youll learn about cutting-edge theories of the origin of the Universe and life itself, and have the opportunity to carry out original research with leading scientists in the field. Were home to fantastic astronomy facilities. These include our teaching and outreach telescopes that youll use to get hands-on observation experience, as well as high-performance computing and GPU clusters. Two unique aspects of both courses are: Our award-winningProfessional Training placements: Within the BSc, the option to take a paidProfessional Training placementin industry gives you invaluable hands-on experience to enhance your employability. On our MPhys, youll take a year-long, masters-level integrated research placement. This can be in one of ourworld-leading research groupsor at one of ourinternational partner institutions. Our focus on undergraduate research and innovation: All undergraduates have the opportunity to apply for paid8-10 week summer research placements in ourresearch groupsand those of our'South East Physics Networkpartners. We offer in-house grants that students can apply for to fund a research placement, attend a conference or develop a new business idea.<br><br>Our Physics with Astronomy courses teach you the core elements of traditional physics from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to quantum mechanics. Youll then specialise in astronomy, studying the formation and evolution of stars, planets, galaxies and the Universe as a whole. Youll learn about the search for life beyond Earth, gravitational waves, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Youll also be able to carry out a research project in one of our world-leading research groups. Formal lectures are complemented with work in our specialist radiation laboratories, which have recently been refurbished and enlarged at a cost of a 2.7m. As an undergraduate student youll use these labs to undertake experiments related to the Nuclear and Particle Physics module.
