"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 . .
