Unique in the UK, the Physics with Nuclear Astrophysics (Hons) programme offered at the University of Surrey contains all the core modules required in a physics degree, but with a specialism that combines the quantum world of atomic nuclei with the cosmic scale of astronomy.

After all, when you look up into the night sky, almost everything you see is the result of a nuclear reaction.
