Study Subject(s): AstroMundus offers an excellent educational level in all branches of
Astrophysics, as insured by the wide variety of expertise in the field covered
by this international partnership. The main topics covered by the Master
programme are: Galactic Astrophysics (the Sun and the Solar system, the Milky
Way, stellar evolution, the interstellar medium), Extrasolar planets,
Extragalactic Astrophysics (galaxies, galaxy evolution, galaxy clusters,
intra-cluster medium, star formation), Active Galactic Nuclei (including
accretion theory, relativistic jets, modelling), Cosmology (including
observational cosmology, galaxy surveys, gravitational lensing, very early
universe), Particle Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics, Gravitational waves,
Observational astrophysics from the ground and from space and Computational
astrophysics (N-body simulations, magneto-hydrodynamic simulations).
Course Level: Scholarships are available for pursuing master degree at
University of Innsbruck (Austria), University of Padova and University of
Rome “Tor Vergata” (Italy), University of Goettingen (Germany), and University
of Belgrade (Serbia).
Scholarship Provider: This project has been funded by the European

Scholarship Description: AstroMundus is a 2-years Erasmus Mundus Masters Course (120 ECTS) in
Astronomy and Astrophysics offered by a consortium of 5 partner universities in
4 different countries: Austria, Italy, Germany, and Serbia. Its main objective
is to provide top-ranked students with an excellent background in Astrophysics,
to introduce them to the world of modern astrophysical research, and foster
their future career in this field. At the same time, in the spirit of the
Erasmus Mundus programmes, we promote cultural exchanges between Third Country
and European students and academics. AstroMundus students carry out their
master studies in at least 2 and up to four of these countries, in a
stimulating and scientifically excellent international environment. The official
language of the course is English, but students are given the possibility to
learn the languages of the host countries by attending language courses at the
partner universities. Successful students will be awarded a Joint Master Degree
by all partner universities they have visited during the Master studies. In
addition they will obtain a Diploma Supplement to facilitate the recognition of
their degree in other universities/countries. At the end of each 2-years cycle
of the Master Programme the best master thesis of the cycle will be awarded a
prize.
