**Physics reaches from the quark out to the largest of galaxies, and encompasses all the matter and timescales within these extremes while Astrophysics emphasises the underlying physical concepts of the stars and galaxies, which make up the Universe. At Kent you learn from academics making the discoveries that shape our world and play a part in this research yourself.**Our focus is on helping you follow your passion as well as giving you the best possible start to your future. Studying with us gives you the chance to follow your passion and equip yourself with a wide range of skills that will qualify you for a range of career pathways from the growing space industry to finance, manufacturing and technology.This degree is fully accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Kent is part of the South East Physics Network (SEPnet) - which offers a competitive programme of summer internships, career focused events, advice and a wider physics community.**Reasons to study Physics with Astrophysics at Kent*** Study a wide range of modules and build your degree around your interests.* Our lecturers are both innovative teachers and active researchers working at the cutting-edge of research across a range of fields including quantum materials and applied optics.* Join a lively and diverse student community and get involved with our student-run Physics, Space and Amateur Rocketry societies who organise talks, practical demonstrations and social events.* Focus on your future with expert careers advice and the opportunity to complete a professional placement.* Build the connections that matter thanks to our links with optical laboratories, local health authorities, aerospace/defence industries and software and engineering companies.* You’ll have access to our teaching and research facilities including state-of-the-art laboratories, high performance computers and protein mass spectrometers.* Benefit from our membership of the South East Physics Network (SEPnet), which offers a competitive programme of summer internships, career-focused events, advice and a wider physics community.* Our dedicated foundation year makes our course accessible to those without a science background.
