MA/MS in Astronomy: Astronomy Research

This research specialisation in astronomy centres on analysing astronomical data through modelling and large-scale simulation, drawing together astronomy, physics, mathematics and computer science. Over two years, the programme combines advanced astronomy courses with two research projects and courses on related science topics, with a significant component drawn from physics, mathematics and computer science, giving it a broad scope compared with other astronomy tracks. It is designed to prepare students for independent research in astronomy, with flexibility to assemble a personalised study path.
