Physics or Physics with Astrophysics?

    In a physics degree there is the option of choosing an astronomy module, which I would choose, and having done this it means in the final year there is the option of choosing an astrophysics module or alternatively another physics module. Either of which would be of interest to me.

    If I choose the Astrophysics module, my final degree title will be
    Physics with Astrophysics.

    If instead I choose another physics module my degree will be Physics.

    After graduation, would there be any benefit in one degree title over the other?

    It will not matter a great deal. In a job interview, you will likely be talking about skill sets not directly related to a particular field in physics (I.e You will be talking about mathematical ability, reasoning, computational skills, and rigour as opposed to stellar aberration or cooper pairs.)

    Go with what interests you.
