The programme builds from the core of the BSc Physics with Astronomy (F3F5) programme, leading students to the highest levels of astrophysics.
Years 1 and 2: The programme in the 1st 2 years is designed to be identical to the BSc Physics with Astronomy (F3F5) degree; this gives students maximum flexibility in allowing them to choose quite late on whether they wish to pursue the 3 or 4-year programme. Year 3: In addition to the core physics modules, and the extreme astrophysics and cosmology astronomy modules, students take the modules in mathematical applications and communication skills that prepare them for the innovative way in which the final year of the MSci degree is taught; students undertake an astronomy project to develop their research skills in the subject. Year 4: As in the final year of all the MSci programmes, there are no examinations, with assessments carried out on the basis of mini projects, presentations, etc; the synoptic element is targeted towards subjects of interest to astronomers, with modules on image processing and studying topical research problems in astrophysics; a true research astronomical project forms the final component of the programme.
