Education facts
Code: 1FA225
Theory plays a central role in astrophysics, using physics, mathematics, and computation, to make models and simulations of celestial objects and phenomena. As objects must be observed from a distance, theory must be used to connect observational data together into a full understanding of the objects and their place in the universe, as well as to predict new phenomena. This course covers the basic physics and tools needed to create theoretical models in astrophysics.
Entry requirements
120 credits including 30 credits in mathematics and 60 credits in physics, including Astrophysics I and knowledge of basic classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and programming. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
Education offerings
Each offering has its own dates and conditions. Closed offerings are retained as history and do not mean that a new application is open.
