理学硕士（荣誉）与天体物理学

本课程为您提供了以天体物理学为关键组成部分的物理学基础知识。它由国际知名的天体物理学研究小组领导，涵盖了当代天体物理学的所有领域。研究领域包括对所有现代天体物理学的广泛概述，然后是更高级的主题。这些可能包括高能天体物理学，星系形成和演化，广义相对论和宇宙学以及天体液体和等离子体。您的最后一年的项目将与天体物理学研究小组的成员一起进行。该小组目前专注于宇宙学，星团和星系的形成，活跃星系，高能天体物理过程以及太阳系外行星的形成。您将在本课程中获得从国际地面和空间天文台进行天文观测和数据分析所需的技能，但还将有
Our course provides a thorough grounding in physics, with astrophysics as a key component. This course is led by an internationally renowned astrophysics research group and covers a broad range of contemporary astrophysics topics alongside the same core physics subjects as our MSci Physics degree.<br><br>Study areas begin with a broad overview of modern astrophysics. This is followed by more advanced topics, which could include:<br><br>high-energy astrophysics<br>galaxy formation and evolution<br>general relativity and cosmology<br>astrophysical fluids and plasmas.<br>Your final-year project will be with a member of the astrophysics research group. Our research specialisms currently include:<br><br>galaxy cluster astrophysics<br>galaxy evolution<br>black holes and active galaxies<br>the formation and atmospheres of extrasolar planets.<br>On this course, you will gain the skills needed for astronomical observations and theoretical modelling. These may be used to analyse data from international ground- and space-based observatories.<br><br>You will also have the opportunity to develop a physicist's broad range of skills. These include problem-solving, numeracy, teamwork, and the ability to communicate complicated concepts.<br><br>Join our friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. You will leave this course prepared for a research career in astrophysics while also having the flexible career options that a traditional physics degree offers.
