What are the hardest degree subjects? The hardest degree subjects are Aerospace Engineering, Law, Chartered Accountancy, Architecture, Chemistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Psychology, Statistics, Nursing, Physics, Astrophysics, Biomedical Engineering, Astronomy, and Dentistry..
Although there are many options to study physics and astronomy together in one degree
You may prefer to focus on just one of these two closely connected fields
Or choose a specialized area within one of the two.
What is physics? Physics is a natural science which is concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy.
You don't only study astrophysics in an astrophysics degree though
First year is the same across pretty much all physics based degrees (with medical/particle/astro/nuclear physics)
And second year is often very similar at least.
An astrophysics of physics with astro degree will give you more astrophysics though.
It's also worth noting that there's not much difference between astrophysics degrees and physics with astro degrees; generally speaking it's just a difference in title
But the amount of astrophysics in either will vary slightly between universities.
