Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Physics and Astronomy/Astrophysics or Physics?

I haven't done Astrophysics yet in school but I do like parts of Astronomy. I also want to keep my choices of study open. Should I pick Physics and Astrophysics or just Physics?

It probably doesn't matter. Most (all?) universities allow you to change between the different strands after 1st year, or sometimes beyond that. I suggest that you choose whichever has the most appeal for you now. You may find it easier to write a personal statement based on some aspect of physics that really appeals to you.
