Physics with Nuclear Astrophysics

About this course

Physics with nuclear astrophysics is a specialist degree for students who want to understand how the universe makes its elements, how stars live and die, and how nuclear reactions in stellar interiors and cataclysmic events determine the composition of everything we observe in the cosmos. Nuclear astrophysics sits at the junction of nuclear physics and astrophysics, applying the principles of nuclear reactions and radioactive decay to the processes that power stars, produce heavy elements in supernovae and neutron star mergers, and shape the evolution of galaxies. It is a field at the frontier of fundamental science, with connections to some of the most dramatic and consequential events in the history of the universe. At Surrey, this three-year degree provides a thorough grounding in the core principles of physics, including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, ther
