Course overview

Study with experts exploring topics from planets in our solar system to distant galaxies and abstract phenomena. And gain the theoretical and practical tools to reveal and understand the underlying laws that govern the universe – from the smallest sub-atomic particle to the grand scale of cosmology. You’ll develop the transferable data science skills that employers value – including in Python, one of the fastest-growing programming languages.

And pick up sought-after skills in everything from communication and team work to problem solving, alongside programming, maths and research experience. Nurtured by world-leading academics, you’ll have weekly tutorials in your first two years, plus one-to-one feedback sessions with your tutor throughout your degree. We run a packed calendar of over 100 events every year, spanning widening participation, diversity and curriculum-enhancing activities.
