BSc in Physics with Astrophysics, University of Warwick

The Physics with Astrophysics BSc at Warwick offers an exciting pathway into understanding the universe through physics and astrophysics. Students are taught by astrophysicists and work closely with them on projects, gaining insights into the principles of physics as they relate to celestial phenomena. The course covers fundamental physics topics like mechanics, quantum theory, relativity, and thermodynamics, and applies them to astrophysical contexts, including stars, galaxies, and the universe itself. Students learn about the classification of astrophysical objects, observation techniques, and detailed study areas such as the solar system, stars, cosmology, exoplanets, and compact objects like black holes and neutron stars. The final year includes a research project that can be observational or theoretical, giving students hands-on experience.
