BSc (Hons) Astrophysics

The Astrophysics undergraduate degree at Queen Mary University of London merges the study of physics, maths, and computer modelling to encourage your understanding of the cosmos. This degree is delivered through a variety of methods, including project-based work, small group teaching, and traditional lectures. Course Content: In the first year, the curriculum provides an extensive foundation in maths, physics, computer science, and contemporary astronomy. Over the next two years, the emphasis moves to dedicated astrophysics subjects. In the final year, there's a significant astrophysics project, where students carry out a two-semester-long research project under the supervision of a relevant specialist staff member.Key Modules: Modules include Mathematical Methods I & II, Practical Physics & Computing, Electricity & Magnetism, Quantum Physics, Theoretical Physics, Large Extraterrestrial Environments, Analytic Methods for Astrophysics, Computational & Experimental Physics Project, and more.Accreditations: The Astrophysics degree course is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), the professional body for physicists in the UK and Ireland.Future Careers: Graduates of this degree often take on roles related to their degree such as a Research Scientist in Meteorology or a Graduate Analyst Programmer. They have also found employment in sectors such as the financial services and education industries.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
