How can I shorten my Astro-Studies ? - 0 views

  Do you have to study really five years physics to make astronomy or you can also directly available to study astronomy and astrophysics? Is it true that the lectures are in English?
  
  As a rule, no diploma courses in astronomy or astrophysics Germany, but studying physics, created there a thesis - often with an astrophysical topic - and then a doctorate in astronomy. This is basically not at all bad, because astronomy has much more to do with physics today as the star of some friend might imagine. The computer programs to simulate the astronomers, the galaxies, the universe or just the atmosphere of stars that contain a lot of formulas that often come from very different fields of physics. And observing astronomers need a good dose of physics for their work. In addition, an astronomy degree is not necessarily an education that is "future proof". There are many more students and astronomy graduate students as fixed points, so that a wider knowledge of physics can open some alternative professional opportunity.
  
  From the above diploma rule, there are - in light of new European degrees - in the meantime exceptions: for example, the University of Bonn now the possibility to impose a degree "Master of Astrophysics", which is different from a physics graduate study. For more details, it is right next to the University of Bonn . But should apply here as well that you can not further without a robust physics and mathematics skills.
  
  The same holds true for the English language. More and more German universities are changing over professional lectures, so usually do not offer the introductory courses in a subject in English. For students, this may at first appear to be a disadvantage, but is basically a huge advantage: The language of science is to be English, many technical books are available only in English, the journals published in English and who attended an astronomical conference once, to English not get around.
