Study Track - Astrophysics
The Astrophysics study track forms part of the Astrophysics specialisation. You can also design your own study track by choosing elective or restricted elective courses other than the ones proposed here.
We have decided to propose only one study track within astronomy/astrophysics. This study track, however, allows you to choose courses or projects that provide you with specific knowledge in different areas of astronomy and astrophysics.
In the table below, you can find the elective and restricted elective subjects which we propose you take to focus your specialisation further on astrophysics:
| Block 1 | Block 2 | Block 3 | Block 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | Theoretical Astrophysics | Observational Astrophysics |
Choose 2 of the following: Gravitational Dynamics and Galaxy Formation Advanced Methods in Applied Statistics Elective course Project outside course scope |
Choose 2 of the following: The Interstellar Medium and the Formation of Stars Fundaments of High-Energy Astrophysics and Particle Astrophysics Elective course Project outside course scope |
|
Choose 1 of the following: Elective course Project outside course scope |
Choose 1 of the following: Extragalactic Astrophysics(Astro4)* General Relativity and Cosmology Elective course Project outside course scope |
|||
| Year 2 | Thesis | |||
One block each year equals nine weeks of study and 15 ECTS.
* This is a BSc course. If you have not had an equivalent course in your BSc, you should follow it here as an elective course (you may only follow two elective courses in total).
