We offer one of the broadest ranges of higher-level astrophysics modules in the UK, so you can create a bespoke MSc tailored to your own interests.

Space Science is the study of all planetary systems. Applications range from Earth observation satellites providing data on anthropogenic climate change, to space exploration missions and analyses of extraterrestrial materials that seek to answer the question: is there life elsewhere in the Galaxy? The UK Space Agency has identified substantial skills gaps in the current UK space sector.  

Perform research at the cutting edge of astrophysics led by internationally renowned academics, involved in major research collaborations. Join the Astrophysics programme from The University of Lancashire.

The Astronautics and Space Engineering programme offered by University of Surrey provides students with the specialised knowledge and skills needed to design, build, and operate space systems for a wide range of applications, from satellite communications and Earth observation to exploration missions and space tourism.

The Physics and Astronomy programme of the University of Glasgow covers a wide range of topics, including solar and plasma physics, cosmology and radio astronomy. Much of our research in solar physics concentrates on the theory, diagnostics and observation of solar flares, complementing our work in more general plasma theory and atmospheric plasmas.
