天体物理学家试图了解宇宙，从最小的组成部分到最大的规模。宇宙的语言是物理和数学，具有天体物理学专业的学生将学习这些知识以及计算和统计技术，并将他们的技能应用于解决诸如恒星内部，星系，黑洞和宇宙本身演化之类的问题。您将了解物理学的基础知识以及计划调查，分析结果和介绍工作的基本能力。定期进行实验室课程，包括访问我们的校园天文台，使您能够调查陌生现象并发展有价值的可移植技能，例如科学写作和编程。我们实行开放政策，在寻求建议和反馈时，为员工提供了灵活而灵活的渠道。我们的“单项荣誉”计划以英国物理学会定义的核心主题
From quarks to quasars, our Physics with Astrophysics programme combines a strong foundation in core physics principles with the study of cutting-edge astrophysics topics. With opportunities for advanced project work using astronomical data from world-class ground-based and satellite missions, as well as practical work at our on-campus observatory, you'll graduate with the problem-solving, experimental, programming and teamworking skills highly sought after by employers across various industries.Course overviewPhysics and Astrophysics are fundamental sciences. Our quest to unravel how the universe works makes an enormous contribution to other scientific areas and a range of industries - from nuclear energy to data-mining, satellite telecommunications and medical diagnostics.<br><br>Featuring a solid foundational core of physics concepts and key expectations, as defined by the Institute of Physics (IoP) accreditation framework, our employability-focused programme invites you to extend and apply these to the arena of astrophysics, engaging with frontier material informed by the interests of our world-class research teams. You will have opportunities for collaborative learning, work and educational placements and practical work at our on-campus observatory. Work placementsIn an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. In between year two and three of your studies, you can spend time gaining practical experience with a physics or astrophysics-focused company or organisation. This will enable you to apply the skills and theories you have learnt to real situations in the industrial workplace.Foundation yearOur Foundation Year provides an excellent alternative route to Keele, providing a unique opportunity to better prepare for your chosen degree, and with guaranteed entry onto your undergraduate course once you successfully complete your Foundation Year.This extra year of study can improve your academic skills, expand your subject knowledge, give you a better understanding of higher education and, perhaps most importantly of all, build your confidence.Your future career95% of Keele students are in employment or further study within 15 months of finishing their studies (HESA Graduate Outcomes, 201920)Our Physics with Astrophysics BSc will equip you with a diverse range of transferable skills including; advanced problem-solving, numeracy, computation, communication and data analysis skills. You will be equally qualified and prepared for postgraduate studies or for graduate level employment in a wide variety of industrial sectors.
