高级科学学士-拥有高级天文学和天体物理学专业

天文学通过从宇宙中接收到的光来检查宇宙。天体物理学利用物理学定律来解释天文现象，并确定宇宙的起源和演化。该领域的专业人员探索了我们对天体（例如行星，恒星和星系）的理解，以及我们获得这一见解的方法。在这个专业中，您将使用实验室以及校园中的光学和无线电天文台来发展成为该领域领导者所需的深入研究技能。您将学习如何应用复杂的知识来解决复杂的问题，并与行业和研究相关的项目协同工作。您将熟练地以多种方式与众多受众有效地交流科学观念。您将能够在领先的研究实验室中工作，并找到进一步研究和跨学科合作的机会。
Astronomy examines the universe via the light received from it. Astrophysics uses the laws of physics to interpret astronomical phenomena, and determine the origin and evolution of the cosmos. Professionals in this field explore our understanding of celestial objects - such as planets, stars and galaxies - and the methods through which we have gained this insight. In this specialisation, you'll use labs and the optical and radio observatories on campus to develop the in-depth research skills you'll need to become a leader in the field. You'll learn to apply sophisticated knowledge to solve complex problems, working collaboratively on industry- and research-related projects. You'll become adept at effectively communicating scientific concepts in multiple modes to a range of audiences. And you'll have the ability to work in leading research labs and identify opportunities for further research and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
