These courses are designed to produce graduates who have a broad knowledge of physics, with particular skills in both astrophysics and theoretical physics. The content is derived from the Physics with Theoretical Physics degrees but you will also take all the astronomy modules from the Physics with Astronomy course. To fit these additional components into the course, there is reduced laboratory content.

You will have a sound understanding of the theories and principles underpinning theoretical physics and astrophysics and will have explored them independently in a major theoretical project. You will have developed transferable skills including problem-solving, communication, and mathematical skills.
