These MSci Physics and Astrophysics degree Lectures Notes are based mainly on taught courses as given in previous years by the University of London. Additional lecture notes and material is given for extra background in the relevant physics topics. The MSci Physics or Astrophysics degree is normally taken over 4-6 years, and the first 3-4 years usually comprise a B.Sc degree, although this may vary depending on course structure. Some students may then go on to MPhil programs and subsequent transfer to a PhD research-based degree in physics, astrophysics or related fields.
