Astronomy and Astrophysics

These are intellectually stimulating disciplines where you will gain an insight into some of the most extreme environments known to humanity. Our teaching is supported by internationally recognised research within the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute for Astrophysics and Supercomputing; for example, our astronomers led the UK’s involvement in the Southern African Large Telescope - the largest single optical instrument in the southern hemisphere. Excellent facilities are provided at one of the largest purpose-built teaching observatories in Britain and our graduates have found employment in industry, government research institutes, overseas observatories, the financial markets, the teaching profession and scientific journalism.
