Astronomy/Physics

About this course

Astronomy and physics together address the grandest questions in science, from the structure of the atom to the origins and fate of the universe. Physics is the experimental and theoretical study of matter and energy and their interactions, from the domain of elementary particles through nuclear and atomic physics to the physics of solids and beyond. Astronomy extends these tools to the largest scales, investigating the formation and evolution of stars, galaxies and the cosmos as a whole. Studying them together means developing a deep understanding of physical principles and seeing them at work across every scale from the subatomic to the cosmological. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year programme develops your understanding of physics in full while also giving you sustained engagement with the major questions and methods of modern astronomy and astrophysics.
