This means you will have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge by studying astrophysics alongside another subject area. In astrophysics you will apply physics to understanding how the universe works and you could possibly explore questions like 'Is there an Earth-like planet around another star?' 'Is there a black hole at the centre of every galaxy?' And 'Why is the expansion of the Universe accelerating?' Why choose Astrophysics at Keele?
