26 Master's degrees in Astronomy & Space Sciences in Netherlands

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. 

In the two-year MSc Astronomy and Astrophysics (Physics and Astronomy) from University of Amsterdam you master the observational, theoretical and computational aspects of modern astronomy and astrophysics.

Would you rather specialise in fundamental particle physics or discover the interface between physics & astronomy, mathematics, chemistry or biology? You choose! You can dive into theoretical physics or perform your own experiments with this Physics and Astronomy programme at Radboud University.

Science for Energy and Sustainability (SfES) is an interdisciplinary track within the UvA Master's programmes Chemistry and Physics and Astronomy. The Science for Energy and Sustainability (Physics and Astronomy) programme is offered by University of Amsterdam.

The Gravitation, Astro-, and Particle Physics (Physics and Astronomy) programme from the University of Amsterdam stands at the intersection of theoretical physics, experimental (astro)particle physics and astrophysics.

Theoretical physics seeks to answer deeply fundamental questions. What is matter made of, and what is the nature of space and time? This Theoretical Physics (Physics and Astronomy) programme from the University of Amsterdam offers education and training from researchers of one of Europe's leading institutes in this challenging and exciting field. This is a joint degree with VU Amsterdam.

The two-year track Advanced Matter and Energy Physics (Physics and Astronomy) from the University of Amsterdam, is among the best experimental physics programmes in the world. It offers you challenging courses and research opportunities in hot topics in laboratories around the world and prepares you for an exciting career in research.

The MSc in Physics and Astronomy at University of Amsterdam is unique in its range of courses and research projects across the full breadth of modern physics and astronomy. 

Working in astronomy puts you at the forefront of science. As our ambitions have grown, so have the technological challenges that enable us to further increase our understanding of the Universe. The overall goal is to fully understand the physical principles and performance of astronomical instruments and to contribute to the development of new instrumentation technologies.

In the master's specialisation Astronomy and Data Science you focus on development and application of new data-mining technologies, fully embracing modern astronomy as a data rich science. The Astronomy and Data Science master's programme is built on world-class computational astrophysics research as well as hightech industry expertise.

This MSc track prepares students for a career in science-related business and administration and for innovation and enterprise from an astronomy perspective. In addition to knowledge of astronomy, students obtain competence with respect to organisations, people in organisations and the establishment and management of processes.

The Astronomy and Science Communication and Society master's specialisation focuses on the interaction between science and society.

In the field of cosmology we look for scientific answers to the most fundamental questions that one can ask: Where do we come from? How did the Universe start? How did it evolve and where does it go?
