Cosmology offers a deep dive into the nature of space, time, and the fundamental forces governing the cosmos. It’s the scientific study of the origin and evolution of the universe, a field which examines profound physical concepts alongside many implications which affect our daily lives. Topics studied have a heavily mathematical basis and include subjects such as particle physics, relativity, quantum mechanics, and computer programming. Cosmology is a fairly specialised degree, which is ideally suited to a career as a researcher, or science educator, however the technical skills learned are applicable to many roles in data analysis and software engineering. Postgraduate options commonly include a masters or Ph.D. in astrophysics or cosmology, which can lead to more established research positions.
