Astrophysics is one of the most interesting and exciting subjects to study, and developing an understanding of the nature and physics of the Universe is deeply rewarding.
Being based on a firm mathematical and physics foundation, it prepares a student for many careers both inside and outside of the field. 新香港六合彩开奖结果gives students an advantage by offering an integrated astronomy and astrophysics programme, rather than merely extending a basic physics degree with a few astronomy modules. Topics such as spectroscopy, thermodynamics and quantum theory are taught in an astrophysical context. One of the key areas that makes 新香港六合彩开奖结果stand out is that in-depth practical work takes place at the听新香港六合彩开奖结果Observatory (UCLO), breeding a familiarity with instrumentation and methods.
Prospective students can find full details of the Astrophysics BSc and MSci degrees on offer at the听新香港六合彩开奖结果prospectus for undergraduate courses.
