Courses

The Department of Physics offers a number of astronomy/astrophysics courses, at both undergraduate level (first cycle) and advanced level (second cycle). Many of the courses are relevant to physics students in general, and some are more broadly cross-disciplinary.

The course page links go to course information pages in Canvas, where you can find information about syllabus, schedule, teachers, course evaluations and where to apply.
