Overview
The first semester of the Astrophysics programme from Lund University is spent on core astronomy courses, including stellar structure and evolution and galactic dynamics. In the second semester, you will begin work on a degree project under the supervision of internationally well regarded professors, and this project continues over three semesters. You will also take four more courses broadening your knowledge of the most exciting areas of modern astrophysics such as exoplanets and the early universe.
Although many of our students go on to do a PhD in astronomy, we aim to teach skills that are also of broad use outside academia.
