Key Facts: We are first in the Russell Group for student satisfaction - 96 per cent of students are satisfied with the quality of their course, We are in the UK top 10 and top 100 in the world for Physics and Astronomy 100 per cent of our Physics and Astronomy research has been rated world leading or internationally excellent for its impact on society Our courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics, Our degrees open the door to a range of jobs - our graduates go into careers in areas as diverse as broadcasting, business, teaching, research and medical physics, Career Opportunities: At Southampton MPhys programmes are designed around problem-based learning rather than simple knowledge transfer, helping you to understand the core principles of relativity, quantum mechanics and electromagnetism. Your interpretations of these will shape your own theories about the universe. This Astronomy combination specialises in high-energy astronomy and the study of compact objects. It also includes stellar evolution, galaxies and cosmology, and a field trip to Tenerife in year two. Southampton degree programmes are structured to offer a broad amount of choice, while ensuring an overall coherence to your individual selections. All our courses are taught by leading experts in their fields and the department is one of just five in the UK to be consistently ranked as “ world leading" or “ internationally excellent".
