On this four-year course you will develop a sound understanding of classical physics and quantum phenomena with a particular focus on astrophysics and cosmology, studying these subjects at a greater depth than on a BSc degree. You will also acquire a wide range of transferable skills that are highly attractive to employers. MSci degrees are recommended for those who might wish to retain a long-term commitment to the discipline, for example those who wish to proceed to postgraduate study or to a scientific or technical career, and also for those who simply wish to undertake a broader and deeper study of the subject.

The Department offers rigorous degree courses which will prepare you for a broad range of careers. Our graduates are highly employable and, in recent years, have entered many different careers including scientific research and teaching as well as gaining jobs in financial services, accountancy and defence solutions.
