Data-Intensive Astrophysics
Master's (1 year) at Cardiff University
**The MSc in Data-Intensive Astrophysics has been designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge needed for a career in a range of areas including academic research in astronomy or astrophysics as well technical, development and engineering positions in related scientific fields.** The MSc in Data-Intensive Astrophysics has been designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge needed for a career in a range of areas including academic research as well technical, development and engineering positions in the “in-demand” field of “Big Data” and related scientific fields. By combining data analysis and computational techniques with a core science discipline, the course is intended to satisfy the increasing demand for well-qualified postgraduates who are equipped with the expertise to respond to a range of challenges arising from this exciting field. It has been estimated that “Big Data” has already added thousands of new jobs to the UK economy and this is likely to increase as new approaches to data transform the public, private and academic sectors. The course is delivered by members of our Data Innovation Research Institute, which was recently established to conduct research into the aspects of managing, analysing and interpreting massive volumes of textual and numerical information. A key component of the course is a 3 month summer project, which will be based either in our School of Physics and Astronomy, or with one or more of our external partners. The project will focus on the application of modern data science methodologies to a problem in Astrophysics (such as star formation, galaxy formation or gravitational waves), providing the hands-on experience needed to succeed in the dynamic field of Data-Intensive Astrophysics as well as wider aspects of data science. **Distinctive features** - Central to the design of the course is the opportunity for you to acquire real research experience in connection with world-leading scientists, greatly enhancing your CV and prospects for employment or further study. - As well as providing a solid core in all the necessary elements of Data Science, the programme allows a choice of elective modules and project work that can be tailored to suit whatever specialism you are interested in, whether that be gravitational waves, star or galaxy formation or cosmology. - You’ll join a well-established and growing cohort of MSc students and be based in a dedicated teaching facility that encourage a “research group” community atmosphere that has been praised by students and external examiners. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with students on related courses such as our MSc Data Science and Analytics. - As a successful graduate of this course you will be ideally placed to take advantage of the fast growing employment opportunities being generated in this field. ..

Master's (1 year) at Cardiff University
**Taught topics reflect our world-leading strengths in theoretical, observational and instrumentational research and include Cosmology, Advanced General Relativity and Gravitational Waves, Instrumentation for Astronomy and Techniques in Astrophysics.** Our MSc in Astrophysics is a full-time degree course which aims to provide specialist training and an edge in a highly competitive recruitment market to students who wish to work in the field of astrophysics. On the course, we will cover theoretical, observational and instrumental areas in astrophysics and other scientific disciplines. We encourage you to develop a critical awareness of current research problems and new insights at the forefront of astronomy and astrophysics. We will also discuss the working context of the modern astrophysicist, including the safety, ethical, and research environments. On completing the course students should be able to pursue a career in academic research, physical science industrial practice, research and development, or in other highly-skilled numerate careers. **Distinctive features** - Tailor the course to your interests with our broad range of optional modules. - Benefit from our School-based facilities including laboratories and computing facilities. - Research-led MSc programme, with taught components delivered by experts in their field. - You will be part of the School’s postgraduate community and will have the support of a personal tutor. - The high level analytical and numeracy skills that are the basis of this course will open up opportunities in a wide range of professions. ..

Bachelor's (3 years) at Cardiff University
**Join a top 10 university for physics in the UK (The Guardian Best UK Universities 2024) in the vibrant, welcoming capital city of Wales.** Astrophysics applies the principles of physics to astrological phenomena, helping us to explore the Universe and investigate how it works. At Cardiff University, we are home to one of the largest astronomy groups in the UK and have led many new discoveries, from the detection of gravitational waves to the first images of black holes. During this course, you’ll be taught by staff whose research is leading to these discoveries – learning about the theoretical physics and mathematical concepts describing space, time, energy and matter, and how to apply these to the cosmos. A more specialised course than our Physics with Astronomy degrees, our Astrophysics courses provide you with the core skills and knowledge you need in physics and mathematics, combined with an understanding of observational astronomy and the theoretical aspects of astrophysics. An ideal grounding for a career as an astrophysicist, this degree also prepares you for a range of careers from data analysis and technology to finance and education. In year one, you’ll take core modules to lay the foundations of your physics, mathematics and computing knowledge, as well as an introduction to astrophysics. You’ll gain confidence in practical work through designing and conducting experiments in the laboratory. Combined with your core physics modules in years two and three, you’ll also learn about: - observational techniques in astronomy; - the stars and their planets; - galaxies and galaxy evolution; - high energy astrophysics; - cosmology and the Big Bang theory of the Universe. As part of the observational techniques module, you’ll carry out a project using real data from the Las Cumbres Observatory, which uses a range of robotic telescopes around the world working as a single network. In the final year of your BSc, you’ll also undertake an astrophysics research project with one of our top researchers. This may involve analysing data from our international or space-based telescopes, trying to understand the physics of the Universe using computer modelling, or even attempting to detect extrasolar planets...

**Join a top 10 university for physics in the UK (The Guardian Best UK Universities 2024) in the vibrant, welcoming capital city of Wales.** Astrophysics applies the principles of physics to astrological phenomena, helping us to explore the Universe and investigate how it works. The four-year MPhys degree course is ideal if you want to study astrophysics in more depth than during a BSc course. If you’re interested in becoming a research scientist, an MPhys degree is a great route to this role. At Cardiff University, we are home to one of the largest astronomy groups in the UK and have led many new discoveries, from the detection of gravitational waves to the first images of black holes.
