Physics with Astrophysics with a - Year in Industry

University of Kent

Physics reaches from the quark out to the largest of galaxies, and encompasses all the matter and timescales within these extremes. By combining physics with astrophysics, you'll use the principles of physics to explore the cosmos – from our own solar system to galaxies and cosmology – and develop your understanding of the material world. You'll study the physical nature of bodies and processes in space, and the instruments and techniques used in modern astronomical research. Adding a professional placement year to your degree allows you to gain valuable work experience and discover how physics is applied in the real world. Your placement can take place in the UK or abroad and many pay a salary. Our focus is on helping you follow your passion as well as giving you the best possible start to your future. You will gain a wide range of skills that will open up career pathways in the growing space industry, finance, manufacturing and technology.This course is fully accredited by the Institute of Physics.
