Physics with Astrophysics

About this course

Physics with astrophysics is the study of the universe as a natural laboratory, using the laws of physics to understand objects and phenomena at scales that range from planets and stars to galaxies and the cosmos as a whole. Astrophysics provides some of the most extreme environments in which physical theories can be tested: pulsars, quasars, and black holes operate under conditions of density, temperature, and gravitational field strength that cannot be replicated on Earth, making them uniquely powerful tools for probing the limits of our understanding. At the same time, astrophysics has practical consequences, informing our understanding of the Sun's influence on Earth, the detection of hazardous asteroids, and the cosmological context within which questions about the origin of life are situated. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year full-time degree develops a thorough groundi
