About this programme
Our Astrophysics Graduate Diploma programme is for graduates of subjects other than astrophysics who wish to gain degree-level knowledge and expertise in astrophysics. The programme follows the core of the honours years in an Astrophysics or a Physics BSc Hons degree, with introductory material to ease transition into the subject. It is ideal for those with a degree that already provides a grounding in applied mathematics, problem-solving, and academic writing and presentation, and can be combined with our Physics and Astronomy MSc programmes.
