Physics with Astrophysics

About this course

From the nuclear reactions that power the sun to the vast filaments of dark matter threading through the cosmos, astrophysics confronts some of the most profound questions science can ask. Physics with Astrophysics combines rigorous training in the fundamentals of physics with a sustained engagement with the science of the universe at the largest scales, exploring how galaxies form, how stars live and die, and what the evidence tells us about the origins and fate of everything we can observe. At York you will study the core pillars of physics, including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and the mathematical methods that unite them, before turning your attention to the great challenges of cosmology and observational astronomy. Topics linked to active research at the university give your studies a direct connection to work being done at the frontier
