Job of the Week: Astrophysicist

Their job involves using powerful telescopes and data from space missions to explore things like how stars are born.

They spend a lot of time analysing data, writing reports, and sharing their discoveries with other scientists.  Some astrophysicists also teach at universities or help design new space technology.

A-levels in maths, physics, and maybe further maths are important for building the knowledge needed for university.  At university, you would usually study astrophysics or physics, earning a degree in one of those subjects.

Starting out, a new astrophysicist might earn between £25k and £35k a year.  As they gain more experience and take on more advanced research, they could make around £40k and £65k a year.
