Course content

Are you interested in the physics of black holes, galaxies, exoplanets, supernovae, and stars? In this programme you will cover theoretical and observational approaches to modern astrophysics, and acquire skills and proficiency to analyze, evaluate and present complex data. This prepares you for a career in research or for qualified jobs in industry.

Astronomers seek to understand phenomena and physical processes we observe in the Universe. In order to do this, you will learn on various fields of physics to create a complete picture of the processes at work and how they interact. This requires you to learn on a wide array of knowledge, developing your skills to solve complex problems. Together with our researchers, you will explore fundamental laws of radiation and study topics from planet formation to the evolution of galaxies. In the practical courses you will learn to plan and execute astronomical observations, and gain hands-on experience using research telescopes.
