About the course
Astronomy and astrophysics examine the universe, galaxies and stars as well as phenomena such as the birth of stars, how explosions of stars create fast moving cosmic ray particles and pulsars, and how the rotation of a galaxy reveals the presence of dark matter. A planetarium and two astronomical observatories enhance this program. The Major degree program offers a significant degree of specialization in Physics & Astronomy, while leaving considerable flexibility for you to pursue additional areas of interest during your course of study.
