In the second year you can spend a week at the Izana Observatory on Tenerife or alternatively undertake a week-long project at the Astrophysics Research Institute.
In your final year you have access to the largest robotically controlled telescope in the world – LJMU’s own two-metre aperture Liverpool Telescope, which is sited on La Palma in the Canary Islands. You will also have the chance to use our own city-centre observatory equipped with a 12-inch computer controlled telescope
In Level 4, you will cover core physical and mathematical techniques and the main strands of physics, but there is the flexibility to specialise as the course progresses.
