The three topics are chosen from:

  • Computational astrophysics (compulsory)
  • Advanced observational astronomy
  • Stellar astrophysics – Part 1
  • Data analysis & Machine learning

NB: Subject to approval by the Chief Examiner, one of the topics in ASP4020 may be replaced by a topic from PHS4020.
