Overview

This BSc Mathematics and Astrophysics (Hons) from University of Dundee combines modules from mathematics and astrophysics.

Astrophysics provides a framework to study the Universe. Astrophysicists have to develop hardware (e.g. telescopes) to enable measurement of the Universe. They also use the laws of physics to develop the theories that can explain their observations. Ultimately, these theories are formulated using mathematics.

The Mathematics and Astrophysics BSc (Hons) degree provides fundamental tools needed to study modern astrophysics. You'll study both pure and applied mathematics alongside core building blocks of astrophysics such as classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, relativity, space physics and astronomy.

On the Mathematics and Astrophysics BSc (Hons), you’ll learn from expert lecturers who are passionate about their subjects. They’ll provide a mix of academic knowledge and practical skills, teaching in a way that is both challenging and supportive. Their goal is to inspire you while helping you succeed in your studies.

Careers

The demand for people with mathematical qualifications is considerable, and a degree that includes mathematics is a highly marketable asset.

As an astrophysics graduate, you will have a broad knowledge base in theoretical and applied science, and be able to solve both abstract and concrete problems.

You will be able to choose from an ever-widening range of careers in science, research, industry, engineering, commerce, finance and education.
