Physics with Astrophysics

Physics with astrophysics is a degree that grounds you in the rigorous mathematical and experimental science of physics while also opening a window onto the largest questions human beings have ever asked: how did the universe begin, how are stars and galaxies formed, what is dark matter, and are there other worlds like ours? Astrophysics applies the principles of physics to the study of astronomical objects and phenomena, from the planets of our solar system to the most distant galaxies, and it is a field that is constantly advancing as new instruments and missions reveal the universe in ever finer detail.
