The BSc Astrophysics degree covers core physical and mathematical concepts with a clear focus on our interpretation of the Universe. The course is designed to give a thorough education in theoretical aspects of physics and astrophysics and an understanding of observational astronomy.

Space sciences at Florida Tech have set the standard since 1958, successfully preparing students for high-tech careers at top space agencies and research firms. The astronomy and astrophysics degree option, which is focused on the study of celestial bodies beyond the Earth's solar system, is designed to meet the needs of students intending to pursue graduate education and a career in astronomical sciences.

The master's degree Astrophysics, Particle Physics and Cosmology of the University of Barcelona is intended for holders of bachelor's degrees and equivalent undergraduate degrees (particularly in physics), engineers and technical engineers who wish to pursue a specialization in one of the following branches of knowledge: astrophysics and space sciences; atomic, nuclear and particle physics; or gravitation and cosmology. The duration and specific content will depend on each applicant's previous studies.

BSc (Hons) Physics with Astrophysics gives you the tools to understand our world at a fundamental level, from the smallest sub-atomic particles to the large-scale structure of the universe. By combining your study with astrophysics, you’ll use the principles of physics, our dedicated astrophysics lab module and fantastic facilities such as the Beacon Observatory, to explore the cosmos – from our solar system to galaxies and cosmology.

Astrophysics is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving scientific fields, bridging physics and astronomy to uncover the mysteries of the universe. The Astrophysics programme provides students with a deep understanding of celestial phenomena while equipping them with advanced analytical and computational skills. With a focus on both theoretical concepts and hands-on experience, this programme prepares graduates for cutting-edge research and diverse career opportunities in academia, technology, and industry.

The Master’s degree in Astrophysics and Cosmology aims to provide students with a comprehensive, up-to-date view of the main fields of modern Astrophysics, including astronomical detectors and techniques, black holes and neutron stars, cosmology, gravitational physics, planets, stars, and galaxies. Particular emphasis is placed on a solid background in Physics and the growing ties among Astrophysics and different branches of Physics in the coming era of multi-messenger observations.

The doctoral program in Physics, Astrophysics and Applied Physics provides advanced research training in a wide range of areas of experimental, theoretical and applied physics, including astrophysics, cosmology, astroparticle physics, condensed matter, quantum optics, nuclear physics, particle physics, plasma physics, theoretical physics, nanotechnology, quantum Information, accelerator physics, biophysics, electronics, environmental physics and medical physics.

Taking advantage of generations of terrestrial and space-based instruments, the Master of Astronomy and Astrophysics trains students to study the origin, structure, and evolution of planets, stars, star systems, and the universe itself.

The Master in Astrophysics and Cosmology provides a solid education in the fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and space physics. The student will acquire the necessary preparation for continuing her/his training towards a Ph.D. in Astrophysics or related disciplines, which in turn may lead to a career as a professional researcher or teacher within universities or research institutions, both in Italy and abroad. Thanks to the course’s emphasis on mathematics, physics, information technology, statistics, and logical thinking, it is also good preparation for a career in industry and R&D (research and development) in the fields of information technology, aerospace, optics, electronics, data science, and others.
