Overview

We list Astrophysics BSc because it keeps coming up in counselling sessions, and because the spread of entry terms across the UK is wider than most applicants expect. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Astrophysics builds from broad foundations towards a research question of your own. We currently work with 39 universities on this course across 31 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £18.000 to £37.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.

  • Research scientist, after a doctorate

  • Quantitative analyst
  • Software or simulation engineer
  • Instrumentation engineer

After the course

A doctorate for astronomy itself; for everything else, programming and statistics are what convert the degree.
