Astrophysics

About this course

Astrophysics is the application of physics to the largest scales of the universe, from the stars and planets of our own solar system to distant galaxies, black holes, neutron stars, dark matter, and the cosmic microwave background that encodes the history of the Big Bang. It is a discipline that requires formidable mathematical and physical understanding, and it asks some of the most profound questions humans have ever posed: how did the universe begin, how will it end, and what is the nature of the matter and energy of which it is made? Studying astrophysics at University College London means working within one of the UK's leading physics departments, with access to world-class researchers, observational facilities, and a culture of scientific rigour that runs from the first year through to the final dissertation. This three-year full-time programme develops your understanding of class
