MPhys（荣誉）物理学和天体物理学

如何分析天文数据，得出结论并提出结果。您可以花一些时间在天文实验室里，然后使用我们的机器人望远镜采集自己的数据。在您的最后一年中，您将在自己感兴趣的领域中完成一个项目。每年，可能会选出一两个学生参加该课程的最后一年，以在拉帕尔玛的艾萨克·牛顿望远镜小组工作。这为工作中的天文台提供了经验，并有机会完成扩展的研究项目。<br> MPhys（荣誉）物理学和天体物理学<br> 4年课程，全日制<br> <br>可选的三明治年
On this course, you’ll spend half your degree studying astrophysics modules, more than most other UK astrophysics courses. You’ll also develop the skills for a career in research, whether you want to help map the universe as an astrophysicist or apply your scientific knowledge to solve problems in industry.There are two telescopes on the roof of our building, which you’ll be trained to use from your first year. We also run a telescope on La Palma in the Canary Islands, which students use during our annual field trip. At the start of your course, in lectures and lab classes you’ll cover the essential physics behind everything else you’ll study: heat, motion, electricity, magnetism and quantum mechanics. You’ll also begin studying the fundamentals of astronomy and astrophysics with modules that cover our solar system, stars, galaxies and basic cosmology. There are practical sessions using our telescopes and, in programming classes, you can learn skills that are essential to modern astrophysics and valuable in many graduate careers, from data science to computer game design.Optional placement year, Study abroad
