About this programme

This Astrophysics Master's programme provides an in-depth overview of the various topics of astrophysics, from smallest to largest scales, and on the interrelations between them. Based on fundamental knowledge, the programme imparts specialised knowledge oriented towards current research questions. To this end, research methods, strategic planning of the approach, critical evaluation of scientific findings, independently responsible action as well as professionally relevant key qualifications are of central importance. The ability to think astrophysically and to proceed physically methodically in theory and practice is trained during the studies. This training results from an interplay between lectures, exercises, lab work, seminars, colloquia, tutorials, and excursions. The programme's curriculum enables a focus on both observational/instrumental and theoretical/computational aspects.
