281 Master's degrees in Astronomy & Space Sciences

Master of Space Science and Practice
The Master of Space Science and Practice at Victoria University of Wellington is designed to meet the needs of today’s growing space sector. You’ll gain specialist knowledge in space science, along with practical skills that connect to fields like engineering, education, health, and government.

Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces
Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces MSc course offered at Imperial bridges the gap between undergraduate physics and maths, and the research frontier.

Climate Change and Planetary Health (Online)
The Climate Change and Planetary Health (Online) programme from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine will help you build confidence in assessing links, anticipating problems, finding solutions and intervening early.

Physics with Quantum Dynamics
This Physics with Quantum Dynamics MSc course from Imperial is open to both physicists and BSc graduates from mathematics, chemistry or engineering disciplines.

Planetary Geosciences
The Master’s Degree provides cultural and technical skills in planetary geosciences and remote sensing. Through research-led teaching, fieldwork, and labs, it covers Solar System geology, space and Earth observation data, geomaterials, landing site analysis, in situ resource use, and astrobiology.

Spatial Planning
The Spatial Planning degree from UCL equips you with the skills to address complex planning challenges and develop sustainable, resilient communities.

Exact Sciences - Astronomy and Space Physics
The Exact Sciences - Astronomy and Space Physics specialisation track at University of Turku encompasses a broad range of topics from the physics of the Sun and solar system to astrophysics of black holes and neutron stars and various astrophysical transients, as well as topics in galactic structure and evolution, and cosmology.

Data Intensive Astrophysics
The MSc Data Intensive Astrophysics has been designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge needed for a career in a range of areas including academic research in astronomy or astrophysics as well technical, development and engineering positions in related scientific fields.

Space Science
Space Science is the study of all planetary systems. Applications range from Earth observation satellites providing data on anthropogenic climate change, to space exploration missions and analyses of extraterrestrial materials that seek to answer the question: is there life elsewhere in the Galaxy? The UK Space Agency has identified substantial skills gaps in the current UK space sector.

Cosmology and Gravitation
If you're ready to take your knowledge and interest in Cosmology and Gravitation into a postgraduate research degree, there's no better place than the Cosmology and Astrophysics programme from the University of Portsmouth.

Astrobiology - Pre-Master's Programme
This one-year (2-semester) programme offers successful students guaranteed progression to a postgraduate degree at a top UK university. Learn more at the Astrobiology - Pre-Master's Programme at OnCampus London from Birkbeck, University of London.

Astrophysics
The Astrophysics programme of the University of Glasgow gives you an understanding of the principles and methods of modern astrophysics at a level appropriate for a professional physicist.

Physics and Astronomy
The Physics and Astronomy programme of the University of Glasgow covers a wide range of topics, including solar and plasma physics, cosmology and radio astronomy. Much of our research in solar physics concentrates on the theory, diagnostics and observation of solar flares, complementing our work in more general plasma theory and atmospheric plasmas.

Astronomy
Astronomy and astrophysics are concerned with the study of the nature and distribution of matter and radiation throughout all time and space in the Universe. The Astronomy course is offered at University of Canterbury.

Astrophysics with Advanced Research
With Astrophysics with Advanced Research at University of Hertfordshire you’ll develop a thorough grounding in fundamental physics while exploring cutting edge topics about the Universe, its constituents and structure, and humanity’s place within it.

Astrophysics
Explore the darkest reaches of the universe with our Astrophysics course delivered by Queen Mary University of London and gain a detailed insight into the fundamentals of astrophysics. We offer one of the broadest ranges of higher-level astrophysics modules in the UK, so you can create a bespoke MSc tailored to your own interests.

Gravity, Particles and Fields
Have you ever wondered how black holes form and what they look like on the inside? Do you want to know how the universe started or what is its fate? Have you ever imagined extra dimensions, new particles or new interactions? Learn more at Gravity, Particles and Fields offered by University of Nottingham.

Particle and Astrophysics
Particle physics and Astrophysics both use the laws of physics to study the universe. In this Particle and Astrophysics programme offered by Radboud University, you’ll dive into extreme worlds and unravel the inner workings of the universe from the smallest to the largest scales.

Astrophysics
The Astrophysics programme from University of Wroclaw offers a deep understanding of celestial phenomena and equips students with advanced analytical and computational skills. Combining theoretical concepts with hands-on experience, the programme prepares graduates for research and diverse careers in academia, technology, and industry, addressing the mysteries of the universe.

Astronomy
Explore astronomy and astrophysics at an advanced level, focusing on observational, theoretical or computational astronomy. This Astronomy course at University of Sussex is one of only three full-time, broad-based astronomy MSc courses in the UK.
