The Master's Research Project is an integral and vital part of your training as an Astronomy master's student at Leiden University. During a period covering at least half of the second year, your engage in state-of-the-art research, supervised by a Leiden Observatory scientific staff member. You are free to choose your research topic along the full spectrum of modern astrophysics. Projects may involve observations, theory, simulation and hands-on experimentation. Keep in mind that if you do two projects, the First Research Project and the Master's Research Project must be on different topics. During the Master's Research Project, you are hosted at Leiden Observatory; you will get a desk, a computer, and attend regular meetings within your research group. The Master's Research Project is concluded with a Master's Thesis and a Student Colloquium.
