Physics and Astronomy: Astronomy and Astrophysics

In the two-year MSc Physics and Astronomy track Astronomy and Astrophysics you master the observational and theoretical aspects of modern astronomy and astrophysics. With new generations of instruments, on the earth's surface and in space, we study the origin, structure and evolution of planets, stars, star systems, and the universe in a more profound way than ever before. This is a joint degree with VU Amsterdam.
