Physics with Astrophysics

About this course

Physics is the science concerned with the fundamental laws governing matter, energy, space, and time, and astrophysics extends that inquiry to the universe on the largest scales, examining the structure and evolution of stars, galaxies, black holes, and the cosmos itself. Together they represent one of the most intellectually demanding and rewarding combinations available at undergraduate level, requiring deep mathematical fluency alongside physical intuition and the willingness to engage with phenomena that challenge everyday understanding. At Newcastle University, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year, providing an extended period of professional or research-based placement alongside your academic studies. You will develop a rigorous grounding in classical and quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and mathematical methods, before moving into more
