About the course
The Master of Science program offers students in a wide range of disciplines the opportunity to earn a master?s degree by writing a thesis and successfully completing a limited number of courses. The creation of a Thesis in any discipline calls for a range of skills that are central to the liberal education tradition, including analysis and synthesis of ideas, empirical investigations, the construction and articulation of arguments, and writing skills. Physics involves observing and understanding natural phenomena. It is evident in the world around us in everything from the seasons, the motion of objects, the flight of birds, the night sky and the weather, to lasers, electronics and the technology we rely on today. Astronomy teaches you how to study objects at a distance and interpret the information gathered. This helps us begin to understand the universe we live in. The skills you will learn in astronomy are also applicable to remote sensing and its application to environmental problems.
The M.Sc. program prepares students to undertake Ph.D. programs in relevant disciplines as well as develop professional, transferable skills for a wide range of careers. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
