The lecture is equivalent to the bachelor module parts WPAstro.1+2 during the winter and summer terms but requires a slightly higher level of basic physical knowledge.
Nevertheless also motivated 3rd semester BSc students are welcome to participate.
This lecture is organised as a block course with 2 parts from Sep. 23rd - Oct. 11th, 2024.
Certificates are only given for active participation in the exercises (meaning also being present at all exercises) and passing the written examination.
Homework should/can be done in groups of 2(3)
Bachelor students
You can choose:
WPAstro.1,2:
- 8CP with marks (lab course needed for complete module)
- The written examination will be graded
- Marks count for the full 10CP including the lab course
MVAstro0:
- 8CP, no marks as a master module in the ‘Wahlbereich’
-
Master students (MVAstro0)
- 8CP, no marks - only passed
- Can be used as part of MVMod (specialisation in Astrophysics)
- Can be used as an option: just 8CP
PhD (including IMPRS)
Active participation in exercises is strongly recommended, and a successful written exam for certificate
