The Master of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics programme offers a wide range of courses on the subfields of astronomy and on research methodology. Special attention will be devoted to the analysis and astrophysical interpretation of data, as well as to technological aspects of international astronomical research.
Upon successful completion of this programme, students will have acquired:
thorough insight into various aspects of astronomy;
insight into the sciences contributing to astronomy;
a critical research attitude developed through gradual training;
the ability to define and formulate strategies to study complex questions;
the ability to integrate technological developments in basic researcht;
the ability to construct simple numeric and physical-mathematical models to study data within a theoretical framework.
This is an initial Master's programme and can be followed on a full-time or part-time basis.
About this course
International applicants must have an academic Bachelor of Science degree in a relevant discipline from an accredited Belgian or foreign university. The programme is designed for international students with a strong interest in astronomy who are considering a research career. Therefore, applicants must have sound knowledge of basic mathematics (analysis, differential equations, probability and statistics) and physics (classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics), at the level of international Bachelor’s programmes in physics and engineering.
Non-native English speaking students are required to submit a TOEFL or IELTS certificate.
A research-oriented Master's programme in astronomy and astrophysics is essential to ensuring high-quality astronomy research. Graduates will have a competitive advantage when applying for a PhD, either locally or abroad, and the skills they acquire will also prepare them for research careers in a broad range of professional environments.
