Physics with Astrophysics (with a year abroad)

About this course

Physics is the science of the fundamental laws that govern the universe, from the behaviour of subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of space and time. Astrophysics extends that enquiry outward, applying the principles of physics to understand stars, galaxies, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and the evolution of the cosmos. Studying physics with astrophysics gives you a deep grounding in the core discipline while specialising in some of the most profound questions that science can address. This four-year full-time programme at the University of York covers classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and special relativity alongside astrophysical topics that include stellar physics, cosmology, and the great unsolved problems at the frontier of research. You will study topics linked directly to the department's active research, including nuc
