- The BSc in Astrophysics is a four-year course (three years for those taking direct entry to second year) run by the School of Physics and Astronomy. During the degree, students will explore the science of the Universe, from extrasolar planets to cosmology. This course is largely a physics course with a specialism in astrophysics, and the astrophysics component of the course makes good use of the mathematics and physics developed in other modules in the course.
- In the first two years of the studies, students will also study modules from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, as mathematics is the language of physics. Depending on how many mathematics modules they choose to do, they may be able to choose modules in other subjects such as chemistry, computer science, philosophy, or many other subjects from across the University. The flexible nature of the degree programmes at St Andrews means that by appropriate choice of modules in first and second year, they may be able to change their final degree topic during their course.
- In the final two years of the course, students normally take modules in physics and astrophysics.
- Final-year students also carry out a major project, which takes one-quarter of their time for the year. This is often carried out in close cooperation with one of the School’s research groups, and may be observational, computational, or theoretical in nature.
- The University of St Andrews operates on a flexible modular degree system by which degrees are obtained through the accumulation of credits.
