Physics with Astrophysics (Hons) University of Kent

Overview

#1 in the UK for wellbeing, freedom of expression and "Teaching staff were easy to contact when I needed to" (NSS 2026).

Physics gives you the tools to understand our world at a fundamental level, from the smallest sub-atomic particles to the large-scale structure of the universe. By combining your study with astrophysics, you’ll use the principles of physics, our dedicated astrophysics lab module and fantastic facilities such as the Beacon Observatory, to explore the cosmos – from our own solar system to galaxies and cosmology.

You'll also develop transferable skills to open up a world of job opportunities, leading to careers in the growing space industry, finance, manufacturing and technology.

If you don’t have a science background or don’t meet our entry requirements, you can take our foundation year.

You might also be interested in our Physics degrees. We also offer a four-year Integrated Master’s (MPhys)

This course is fully accredited by the Institute of Physics.
