Astrophysics minor and major sequences
You need to plan your major and minor sequences
in first year. Read the recommended pathways to assist
you in the choice of units.
These sequences are offered jointly by the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Physics and Materials Engineering.
Minor sequence in astrophysics:
- ASP1010 and ASP1022
- ASP2011 and ASP2062
In addition, students considering a minor sequence in astronomy should complete at least 6 points of first year Physics, and MTH1030 or equivalent.
Major sequence in astrophysics:
- a minor sequence in astronomy, mathematics or physics, and
- ASP3012 and ASP3051, and
- if ASP2062 has not already been taken as part of the minor, ASP2062 and one of MTH3360, ASP3222 and ASP3231, or
- if ASP2062 has already been taken as part of the minor, two of MTH3360, ASP3222, ASP3231 and ASP2011 (if not already taken).
Students considering taking a major sequence in astrophysics should complete PHS1011 and PHS1022 and at least 12 points of mathematics units at level 1, normally MTH1020 and MTH1030 or equivalent.

Planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, and beyond ... all the stuff of Astrophysics. How are they formed, and how do they evolve? What do they tell us about our past, and our future? Observation and modelling form the twin pillars of astronomical research, and mathematics is the tool and the language we use to understand and to probe our data and to build our models.
