Master programme in Astrophysics
2 years ยท 120 credits
The Department of Physics offers a Master programme in Astrophysics for students who already have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent in physics or astronomy. The Master programme is equivalent to two years of full time work (120 credits), out of which one year (60 credits) consists of courses and the other half (60 credits) consists of a research project carried out at the department.
Programme structure
The first semester is entirely devoted to coursework, in order to give you a solid foundation of knowledge to use in your project work, while the remaining three semesters are split between working on your research project and taking courses. Please note that the order of the two courses Extragalatic astronomy and Planetary systems alternate.
