Overview
Physics with Astrophysics (with Foundation Year) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Astronomy is assessed through practical reports as well as written papers, and the lab component is what makes the timetable full. We currently work with 3 universities on this course across 3 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 £17,100 to £29,800 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
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
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.
