Master of Science (Astronomy)

A Master of Science (Astronomy) is an excellent qualification if you need an overall understanding of astronomy in contemporary times. You might want to work in a museum or observatory, teach basic astronomy or educate the public in a science or astronomy centre. This course covers academic astronomy topics and research techniques but also allows you to embark on a major project such as observational astronomy or computational astrophysics.

The Master of Science (Astronomy) looks at subjects including astrophotography and CCD imaging, cosmology and the large scale structure of the universe and galaxies and their place in the universe. You’ll explore stars, the Milky Way and the solar system and examine topics such as planetary science, stellar astrophysics and tools of modern astronomy.
