Astrophysics
In the module Astrophysics you will deepen previous knowledge and specialize in astrophysics, acquire and train new skills. This includes
- to apply fundamental concepts of physics to describe astrophysical phenomena,
- to obtain an overview of the experimental foundations of our knowledge about the cosmos,
- to understand the fundamental principles of the universe and its history,
- to apply computer aided analysis of scientific data.
The module prepares for topics of current research in astrophysics and towards their own research activity within the master thesis. The module is subdivided into a core courses, specialized courses, an advanced seminar, a research internship and contains Lectures, problem classes, seminar (optional), research internship (guidance to independent research; optional).
You can find the courses on Klips.
