=1st in the world for research impact in Physics (Shanghai Ranking Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2025) 7th in the UK for our research environment in Physics in REF 2021 (Times Higher Education) Explore the extragalactic universe with our world-leading faculty. Our research interests focus on: - testing cosmological models - physics of the early universe - large-scale structure: galaxy surveys and numerical simulations - very high-redshift galaxies and reionisation - galaxy formation and evolution. Supercomputers and overseas telescopes – whether you’re a theoretical astronomer or work on an observational project, you’ll have access to world-leading facilities, international collaborations and a full combination of theoretical, numerical and observational techniques. We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
Getting in
As the university states it
You’re normally expected to have a Merit (an average of 60% overall) in a Masters degree OR an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree. Your qualification should be in a relevant subject such as physics, astronomy or mathematics. You may also be considered for the degree if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing.
