Masters in Mathematics, Physics &Natural Science

The Astrophysics curriculum gives students a strong foundation in modern astrophysics and prepares them for research careers or other advanced technical professions. It combines academic study with practical training and is supported by major research institutions in the Tor Vergata area, including INAF, INFN, and ASI.

• Learn from university lecturers and active researchers working at leading astrophysics and space-science institutions.
• Study key areas of modern astrophysics, including solar and stellar physics, galaxies, observational cosmology, and gravitational physics.
• Gain practical experience in technology-related work, data analysis, image processing, modelling, and high-performance computing.
• Develop transferable skills in problem-solving, handling large datasets, and developing new technologies.
• Take part in research environments connected with Italian and international scientific organisations.
• Access the Astromundus Erasmus+ Joint Master’s programme in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
• Study in at least two, and potentially up to four, partner countries: Austria, Italy, Germany, and Serbia.
• Receive a Joint Master’s Degree from the partner universities attended during the programme.
• Continue to PhD programmes in Physics, Astrophysics, or Space Science.
• Pursue careers in universities, research centres, observatories, space-related industries, and applied or basic research.
• Use the programme’s technical and analytical skills in computer software development, financial and economic analysis, or public-administration management roles.
