Physics with Astronomy (Hons) University of Liverpool

Overview

This Physics with Astronomy (Hons) BSc programme from the University of Liverpool will equip students with skills relevant for jobs in a wide range of careers, from education, research, finance and the city to industry.

Key Features

• From the formation, evolution and deaths of stars (involving planetary systems, nucleosynthesis and supernovae) through structure of galaxies to the evolution of the Universe itself, the degree structure introduces the physics involved in the cosmos.
• Anyone who is curious about the fundamental laws of nature will enjoy Physics. It is one of the few disciplines that really challenge our view of the world. For example, in relativity we find that space and time are entangled and that clocks run slowly under the influence of a gravitational field.
• When we examine the world on a microscopic scale, we are in the realm of quantum mechanics, where the predictions, such as wave-particle duality, even seem strange to the physicists who study its foundations.
