"Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are extremely energetic objects that reside in the centres of galaxies. Often they are so luminous that they outshine their entire hosting galaxy. They can emit light over the entire electromagnetic spectrum enabling us to witness dramatic signatures of a wide variety of activities, ranging from radio jets that can be hundreds of times larger than galaxies to the observed heated accretion ring close to the black hole of our own galaxy. In this lecture series, AGN and their impact will be discussed in considerable detail.\r\n\r\nTopics that will be addressed include:\r\n\r\nobservational results and the resulting taxonomy\r\n\r\nthe physics of the various AGN building blocks\r\n\r\ntheir origin and time evolution\r\n\r\ntheir role in the formation of galaxies\n\nOutcome:\nUpon completion of this course, you will not only have a good understanding of the role AGN are playing in modern astrophysics but also have obtained a good feeling for the open questions in this field. The aim is to provide a solid background to be able to carry out research at the master or PhD level.\r\n\r\nUpon completion of this course, you will\r\n\r\nbe able to interpret observations at virtually the whole electromagnetic spectrum of AGN\r\n\r\nhave a good apprehension of how the basic physical properties of AGN building blocks are determined\r\n\r\nbe familiar with the various scenarios for the formation of the first AGN\r\n\r\nunderstand how AGN evolve and ideas on what might be driving this evolution\r\n\r\nbe acquainted with ideas on how AGN impact the formation of galaxies and methods that numerical simulations have employed to take this into account" . .

"Within the two-year Astronomy master’s programme, you can choose from seven specialisations, ranging from fundamental or applied astronomy research in cosmology, instrumentation or data science, to combinations of astronomy research with education, management or science communication.\n\nThe two-year Astronomy master’s programme offers seven specialisations:\n1. Astronomy Research: you follow a tailor-made programme to become an independent and resourceful scientist.\n2. Astronomy and Instrumentation: obtain in-depth knowledge of state of the art approaches to develop high tech astronomy instruments.\n3. Astronomy and Data Science: focus on development and application of new data mining technologies, fully embracing modern astronomy as a data rich branch of science. \n4. Astronomy and Cosmology: discover all aspects of modern astrophysics, including extensive observation, interpretation, simulation and theory.\n5. Astronomy and Business Studies: combine training in astronomy with education in management and entrepreneurship.\n6. Astronomy and Science Communication and Society: combine research with all aspects of science communication, such as journalism and universe awareness education.\n7. Astronomy and Education (taught partly in Dutch): prepare yourself for a career in teaching science at high school level.\n\nOutcome:\nDuring the programme, you learn to perform academically sound research and evaluate scientific information independently and critically. Without exception, you actively participate in current research within the institute and are individually supervised by our international scientific staff. Students with a Leiden degree in Astronomy become strong communicators and collaborators and can easily operate in an international setting. You will acquire extensive astronomical research experience and highly advanced analytical and problem solving skills."@en . . . . . . "2"@en . "FALSE" . . "Master"@en . "Thesis" . "2314.00" .

"With a master’s degree in Astronomy you are well prepared for jobs in research, industry and the public sector, including technological, financial and consultancy companies, research institutes, governments and science communication organizations.\n\nMost graduates holding a MSc degree in Astronomy from Leiden University find work in many different capacities, including:\r\n1. Research: universities, observatories, research institutes\r\n2. Industry and consultancy: ICT, R&D, telecom, high technology, aerospace\r\n3. Finance: banking, insurance, pension funds\r\n4. Public sector: governments, policy makers, high schools\r\n5. Science communication: journalism, popular writing, museums\r\n6. Typical jobs for Astronomy graduates include:\r\n\r\nScientific researcher (postdoc, research fellow, professor)\r\n1. R&D engineer\r\n2. Consultant\r\n3. Data scientist, statistician\r\n4. Policy advisor, public information officer (e.g. Ministry of Foreign Affairs)\r\n5. High school physics teacher\r\n6. Scientific editor for magazines, newspapers and other media\n\nIf you want to get more deeply involved in research after graduating in Astronomy, consider pursuing a PhD at Leiden Observatory. If you have completed the Leiden master’s degree programme in Astronomy, you are directly eligible for admission to our PhD programme."@en . "7"^^ . "TRUE" .
