Physics with Astrophysics

About this course

Physics with astrophysics takes you from the fundamental laws that govern matter and energy at the smallest scales out to the grandest questions about the structure and history of the universe itself. Astrophysics deals with physics at the largest scales: the formation of stars and galaxies, the lifecycle of stellar objects from protostars to supernovae, the nature of black holes and neutron stars, the physics of quasars and pulsars, and the cosmological questions about the origin, structure, and fate of the universe. It is a discipline that requires the full toolkit of physics, and studying it alongside the fundamentals of the subject gives you both the breadth and the depth the field demands. At Leicester you will cover the full range of physics fundamentals, including mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical physics, alongside astrophysics topic
