About this course

The universe presents some of the most profound questions that science can address, from the nature of dark matter and dark energy to the possibility of life beyond Earth. Astronomy, space science, and astrophysics bring together physics, mathematics, and observational science to investigate the structure, origin, and evolution of everything from individual stars and planetary systems to galaxy clusters and the cosmos as a whole. It is a discipline that demands rigorous quantitative reasoning alongside genuine curiosity about what lies beyond our own world. This four-year programme at the University of Kent with a year abroad takes you through the core principles of astrophysics, including stellar physics, cosmology, planetary science, and the physics of galaxies. You will engage with real data from some of the most significant observatories in the world, including the Hubble Space Tele
