The extragalactic astrophysics group is active in several key areas of research within the wide field of galaxy formation and evolution. Our research spans from numerical simulations of galaxies, to observational studies of stellar populations, interstellar medium and active galactic nuclei as well as quasars as tracers of the large scale structure of the Universe. The numerical simulation side of our research utilizes both local and external high-performance computing facilities, while the observational side makes use of data from a wide range of ground-based telescopes and satellites, covering the entire wavelength range. With the research carried out on campus at UCLan's Jeremiah Horrocks Institute and continuous interactions with international consortia, we participate in the worldwide scientific community effort to elucidate the origin and structure of galaxies, the building blocks of our Universe.
Students need a recognised UK first-degree, second-class honours or above; or a UK Masters degree or equivalent qualification. PhD studentships normally require at least an upper second class honours first degree.
