Physics (M.Sc./Joint Degree)

The curriculum in astrophysics begins with an introductory course that covers astrophysical objects and structures all the way from planetary to cosmological scales. Advanced lectures and seminars offer deeper insights into observational, theoretical, and data analysis techniques, specializing in particular in planetary and stellar physics on the one hand as well as early and late-time cosmology on the other.

The geophysical branch of the education centers around a general introduction to geophysics and lectures on fluid dynamics for which the main domains of application are oceanic and atmospheric circulations together with magnetic field generation. These phenomena are governed by the same principles on Earth and other planets, so that the subject of "geophyiscal fluid dynamics" naturally encompasses other planets than Earth.
