Teaching

Undergraduate degrees in astronomy

Astrophysics can be studied as part of a range of undergraduate degrees (MPhys/BSc). These are taught by members of the Astronomy Centre and other lecturers in the Physics and Astronomy Department.

Research degrees: PhD/MPhil

Two research degree programmes are available, PhD and MPhil, in all our research areas. Prospective PhD students should consult the PhD Studentships page.

Taught degrees: MSc in Astronomy, MSc in Cosmology

MSc courses are half taught courses and half research project. Students undertake a significant project in one of our research areas. We have listed some example projects.
