Course Specifications MPhys
The programme consists of a core of 5 lectured modules, the astrophysics laboratory and group project with further modules taken from the options list. Enough options have to be taken in order to raise the total load to at least 120 CATS credits, which is defined to be the normal load for this course. The maximum permitted load is 150 CATS. You must choose modules worth at least 15 CATS from the Options List.
