Astrophysics (Foundation Entry), MPhys
University of Central Lancashire
Do you ever wonder how our universe came to be? Our MPhys Astrophysics Foundation Entry Degree provides you with essential training to help find the answer.
You’ll gain an understanding of how to apply physics to the stars and galaxies which make up our universe, whilst developing skills in scientific methods.
During your MPhys (Hons) Astrophysics course you’ll have access to specialist laboratory facilities for the study of nuclear physics, mechanics, optics, quantum physics, laser physics, spectroscopy and astrophysics. And our Physics Teaching Laboratories have benefitted from an investment of over £40,000 in new equipment.
Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to enter directly onto your chosen Honours degree programme. They’re a great stepping stone to a full degree. You’ll gain excellent observational, mathematical and logical skills as well as problem-solving abilities.
Future Careers
Graduates of physics, astronomy, and astrophysics are amongst the most employable in the world; particularly in technical and business sectors where analytical and mathematical skills are at a premium.
You could have a career in industry, government research institutes, overseas laboratories and observatories. Or work for financial institutions. There are also jobs in teaching and scientific communication and public outreach.
