Embark on a journey into the cosmos with the Physics with Space Science BSc at the University of Leicester, a programme designed for those fascinated by the universe's grandest mysteries and the fundamental forces that govern it. You will gain a profound understanding of modern physics, from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to quantum physics and relativity, while developing specialised knowledge in space science. This undergraduate degree is ideal if you are eager to apply advanced mathematics, computing, and experimental techniques to solve complex real-world problems, particularly those at the forefront of space exploration and astrophysics.
This full-time, on-campus degree is studied over four years, including a dedicated year abroad to broaden your academic and cultural horizons. Your learning will be hands-on, involving experimental physics and skills development, with opportunities to delve into specialist areas such as astrodynamics, the space environment, and stellar astrophysics through optional modules. You will work alongside active researchers within one of Europe's largest campus-based space research centres, contributing to projects informed by real missions. Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared for diverse career paths in research, aerospace, technology, and beyond.
