MPhys（荣誉）天文学物理学（4年）

我们拥有天文学的MPhys物理学的前五名学生可以选择出国留学，并将其四年级的时间投入到CfA的一项研究项目中。我们是唯一以这种方式与中心合作的英国大学，因此这是获得高级研究技能的真正独特机会。该天体物理学学位的另一个特色是前往特内里费岛进行了为期两周的实地考察。在那里，您将参加密集的太空任务设计项目，并在研究级天文台学习一周，以使用高倍望远镜。该学位将我们强大的物理和天文学培训与无与伦比的机会相结合，从而获得了高级的天体物理学领域的高级研究经验。虽然天文学包括空间观测和数据收集，但天体物理学着重于对空间数
This specialist astrophysics course offers an unrivalled opportunity to study astrophysics with a year abroad. You'll spend your fourth year on a research project at the prestigious Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Boston, USA. We are the only UK university that partners with Harvard in this way. This flagship course is offered to the best University of Southampton astrophysics students studying our MPhys Physics with Astronomy degree at the end of year 2. Another feature is a 2-week field trip to Tenerife where you’ll take part in a space mission design project. You’ll also spend a week at an observatory learning to use high-spec telescopes.As part of your astrophysics degree, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of:the make-up, dynamics and environment of galaxiesthe life cycle of starshow radiation is produced and detected in a cosmic settingthe space environment and space weatherconcepts of modern cosmology, including the nature of dark matterYou’ll also learn the science behind powerful phenomena such as white dwarfs, black holes and neutron stars, the evolution of the universe, the formation of galaxies and space weather.
