Overview
This page covers Computation Astrophysics across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Astronomy splits the week between lectures and laboratory work, and the final stage is built around a supervised research project.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
Entry requirements
Careers opportunities
Laboratory research is only one of the routes out of a science degree and it is the one with the fewest posts. The larger destinations are industry, analysis, regulation and teaching, and a placement year is the single strongest thing on a science graduate's application.
Roles graduates go into
- Research or laboratory scientist
- Analytical or quality scientist
- Technical or scientific officer
- Data or research analyst
- Regulatory affairs officer
- Science teacher, with a teaching qualification
Where they work
- Pharmaceutical, chemical and manufacturing companies
- Contract testing and analytical laboratories
- University and institute research groups
- Government agencies and regulators
- Environmental and public health bodies
After the course
A research post normally needs a doctorate, and a master's with a substantial project is the usual route into one. Chartered scientist status is the alternative for those staying in industry.
