The Master of Science (Astronomy) covers the fundamental concepts and ‘big questions’ of modern astronomy. It equips students with an overall understanding of modern astronomy, rather than training as a professional astronomer.

Course description

The Master of Science (Astronomy) is an online course and is part of a nested suite of programs, which includes the Graduate Certificate of Science (Astronomy) and a Graduate Diploma of Science (Astronomy), with different entry and exit points depending upon previous academic studies. It comprises 12 units of study completed fully online, including opportunities for major project work.

The Master of Science (Astronomy) qualifies individuals who apply an advanced body of knowledge in a range of contexts related to contemporary astronomy. The course provides individuals with the requisite academic knowledge, science communication and independent research project skills across an extensive range of astronomy and astronomy-related fields for professional practice or scholarship, and as a pathway for further learning.

Many graduates use this qualification to begin or enhance opportunities in teaching, working in observatories, science centres and museums, and science/astronomy education, public outreach and communication positions.

1. Interpret, analyse and evaluate credible resources to argue information, knowledge and critique on astronomy topics.

2. Judge and apply problem solving methodologies to synthesise solutions that assess information and technical skills in astronomy.

3. Apply and appraise communication skills to demonstrate an understanding of recent developments in astronomy.

4. Demonstrate and appraise skills and knowledge of research principles and methods applicable to astronomy.

5. Manage own time and work independently to design and construct a substantial research project work in astronomy.

6. Demonstrate communication and technical skills, either individually or working as an effective member in a team to interpret and discriminate complex ideas in astronomy to specialist and non-specialist audiences.

Courses that are taught entirely online are only available to international students studying outside Australia or those in Australia who are not on a student visa. Online courses are not available to international students in Australia who hold a student visa.
