Space Science and Astrophysics explores the fundamental processes of our universe from the upper atmosphere of the earth to the most distant regions. The understanding of these processes underpins much of the academic and technological research into astronomy, studies of the solar system and the practical use of space. It is important in improving our knowledge and understanding of the universe as a whole, and in enabling us to understand the environment within which space vehicles and planet earth must operate. This program consists of core training in the disciplines of astronomy and space science, with a strong emphasis on physics.
Students undertaking this program have direct exposure to professionals in the fields of space science and astrophysics, which enables them to form professional mentoring relationships. There are also opportunities to take part in project work at each level with established scientists in the field.
