From the Sun to supernovae, neutron stars, black holes, and galaxies!

The Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences: Astronomy and Space Physics specialisation track encompasses a broad range of topics from the physics of the sun and solar system to stellar and galactic structure and evolution, as well as topics in high energy astrophysics and cosmology.

The Astronomy and Space Physics track includes a solid grounding in theoretical aspects as well as opportunities for observational studies (e.g. of supernovae or accreting black holes). The space physics group performs experimental, theoretical and computational research on high-energy phenomena in near-Earth space. Upon graduation, you will be able to use the diverse set of skills acquired as part of this track, including computational and numerical techniques.

Academic Excellence & Experience

The aim of the Master’s education is to support you to become an independent expert who can evaluate information critically, plan and execute research projects to find new knowledge, and solve scientific and technological problems independently and as part of a group.

You will be able to choose among three lines of studies: theoretical astrophysics, observational astronomy and space physics. You will acquire knowledge of various astrophysical phenomena and plasma physics, from the Solar systems to neutron stars and onto galaxies and cosmology. You will also get hands-on experience with observational techniques, space instrumentation, numerical methods and analysis of large data sets.
