MPhil Astronomy

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. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
