Our MSc in Astrophysics is a full-time degree course which aims to provide specialist training and an edge in a highly competitive recruitment market to students who wish to work in the field of astrophysics. On the course, we will cover theoretical, observational and instrumental areas in astrophysics and other scientific disciplines. We encourage you to develop a critical awareness of current research problems and new insights at the forefront of astronomy and astrophysics. We will also discuss the working context of the modern astrophysicist, including the safety, ethical, and research environments. On completing the course students should be able to pursue a career in academic research, physical science industrial practice, research and development, or in other highly-skilled numerate careers. Placements: We have strong and established links with industry and may be able to offer you a placement with one of these partners for your research project. We may also have some academic summer placements available within the School, which can be extremely valuable to students seeking to continue in academic research.
A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant subject area such as astronomy, astrophysics, computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, or related physical science, or an equivalent international degree. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
