Physics with Astrophysics

About this course

Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, concerned with understanding the basic constituents of matter and energy and the laws that govern their behaviour. From the quantum mechanics of subatomic particles to the general relativity of curved spacetime, physics provides the theoretical framework within which all other natural sciences operate. Astrophysics extends that framework to the scale of the cosmos, applying physical laws to stars, galaxies, black holes, neutron stars, and the large-scale structure and history of the universe. Extreme conditions in space, including immense gravity, high pressure, and intense temperatures, push physical laws to their limits and reveal aspects of reality that are inaccessible to laboratory science. At the University of Dundee, this four-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study at a partner institut
