. "Introduction to plasma dynamics"@en . . "6" . "The goal is to provide the basic information and the basic theoretical approach to plasma physics. The vast majority of the universe is in a plasma state. Plasmas are systems of interacting charged particles where the bond between electrons and ions in atoms is broken and the system acts as a collective of very large numbers of particles. Plasmas have many applications in laboratory, industry, space and astrophysics. But besides the plasmas themselves, the models used to study them are of vast applicability in many areas of science and engineering. Learning plasma physics is doubly productive: it teached how plasmas work and it teaches how to study other many body systems with collective interactions (from the nanoscales all the way to the universe itself)." . .

"he Master of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics is a two-year programme consisting of 120 ECTS credits. In the first year, theoretical courses\n provide a solid foundation for further study, while you develop your \nresearch skills by undertaking a research project. In the second year \nyou work on your master's thesis, as front-line research\n typically conducted within one of the research groups. Attention is \ndevoted to the analysis and astrophysical interpretation of data and \nmodels, as well as to technological aspects of international \nastronomical research.\n\nAstronomical research and education has a distinct international and multidisciplinary character.\n The emphasis is on developing and applying research methodologies to \ncollect, analyse and interpret astronomical observations in the context \nof astrophysics. Technological as well as computational and theoretical \naspects are extensively covered. Thanks to new generations of \ninstruments on the Earth's surface and in space, you can adequately \nstudy the origin, structure and evolution of planets, stars, galaxies \nand the universe. Astronomy therefore retains a central place in \ninternational fundamental research.\n\nUpon successful completion of this programme, you will have acquired:\n\na thorough insight into various aspects of astronomya developed understanding of the various sciences contributing to astronomya critical research attitudethe ability to define and formulate strategies to study complex questionsthe ability to integrate technological developments into basic researchthe ability to construct simple numeric and physical-mathematical models to study data within a theoretical framework"@en . .
