Physics with Astrophysics

About this course

Physics and astrophysics together span the extraordinary range from the smallest known structures, the elementary particles that constitute all matter, to the largest, the galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the observable universe as a whole. Physics provides the mathematical and conceptual tools: quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and relativity. Astrophysics applies them to understanding how stars form and die, what dark matter and dark energy are, how black holes behave, and where the universe came from. The combination is intellectually demanding and deeply rewarding, requiring you to think rigorously about phenomena that are often wildly counterintuitive. This programme at the University of Nottingham includes a foundation year, providing a structured academic preparation for students who bring strong potential but benefit from additional support before entering the m
