The content is derived from the Physics with Theoretical Physics MSci degree but you will also take all the astronomy modules from the Physics with Astronomy MSci course. To fit these additional components into the course, there is reduced laboratory content. As in the final year of all our MSci programmes, there are a variety of assessments ranging from mini projects, presentations, group work, and coursework. The synoptic element brings together advanced theoretical physics with astrophysics. You will also undertake a major research project, working on a cutting-edge problem in theoretical astrophysics.
