program description

these physics with astronomy courses teach students the core elements of traditional physics – from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to quantum mechanics.

students will then specialise in astrophysics, studying the formation and evolution of stars, planets, galaxies and the universe as a whole. they'll learn about the search for life beyond earth, gravitational waves, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

students will also be able to carry out a research project in one of surrey's world-leading research groups.

students can apply to study for either a bsc or an mphys, a direct route to a masters qualification. if they study for an mphys, they'll spend a year doing integrated research before returning for their final masters-level modules.

students may have the option to switch to a bsc or mphys during their studies.
