Hello


No bsc in physics and bsc in astrophysics are both different courses though they are both 3 year undergraduate programmes.

On one hand, B.Sc. Physics comprises of theory and experimental courses mainly from Physics and few interdisciplinary courses like Mathematics Chemistry and Computer Science.

It emphasises on the fundamentals of Physics while introducing modern concepts such as Quantum Mechanics and Relativity proceeding over to Classical Mechanics Electrodynamics taking forward the courses like Electricity and Magnetism Optics and Waves similarly Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics.

On the other hand, bsc astrophysics involves th e study of the physical and chemical properties of celestial bodies and the natural phenomena that occur in the universe.

It is designed to train enrolled students in specializations such as Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Newtonian Dynamics, Waves, Optics, Modern Physics, and pursue an advanced exploration of Atomic, Nuclear and Quantum Physics, Solid State Physics, Relativity, Quantum Physics, Fluid Mechanics etc.

so the fundamentals of both the courses are different and both the courses provide different career opportunities to individuals but they contain some common areas and topics.

hope this helps
