"The exceptional atmospheric conditions for top-quality astronomic observation to be found in the Canary Islands, together with its geographic proximity and excellent connections with Europe, justify the presence here of the European Northern Hemisphere Observatory (ENO). This fact, along with the consequent concentration of teachers and researchers around the Canary Island Institute of Astrophysics, the ULL Department of Astrophysics and the Observatories, generates the ideal atmosphere for a Master in Astrophysics in which direct contact with leading professionals represents exceptional value added. The Master has been designed based on an ample and rigorous choice of subjects, options and itineraries that that take the form of three specialities: “Theory and Computing Speciality”, “Observation and Instrumentation Speciality” and “Material Structure”\n\nGeneral skills\nKnow the advanced mathematical and numerical techniques that allow Physics and Astrophysics to be applied to solving complex problems using simple models\nUnderstand the technologies associated with observation in Astrophysics and the design of instrumentation\nAnalyse a problem, study the possible solutions published and propose new solutions or lines of attack\nAssess orders of magnitude and develop a clear perception of physically different situations that show analogies allowing the use of synergies and known solutions for new problems\nSpecific skills\nUnderstand the basic conceptual schemes of Astrophysics\nUnderstand the structure and evolution of the stars\nUnderstand the mechanisms of nucleosynthesis\nUnderstand the structure and evolution of galaxies\nUnderstand the models of the origin and evolution of the Universe\nUnderstand the structure of matter to be able to solve problems related to the interaction between matter and radiation in different energy ranges\nKnow how to find solutions to specific astrophysical problems on your own, using specific bibliography with minimum supervision\nKnow how to work independently on new research projects\nKnow how to programme, at least in one important language for scientific calculation in Astrophysics\nUnderstand the instrumentation used to observe the universe in the different frequency ranges\nUse current scientific instrumentation (both Earth-based and Space-based) and have a command of their innovative technologies\nKnow how to use current astrophysical instrumentation (both in terrestrial and space observatories), especially the instrumentation that uses the most innovative technology and know the foundations of the technology used\nApply the knowledge acquired to undertake an original research work in Astrophysics"@en . . .
