- Description/content
- The Master of Science programme in Astro and Particle Physics is an international research-oriented two-year Master's programme established by the Kepler Center, which is part of the Physics Department within the Faculty of Science at the University of Tübingen. It consists of scientists from three different institutes within the Physics Department: Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, the Physical Institute, and the Institute for Theoretical Physics. The Kepler Center has a research focus in the areas of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Astroparticle Physics, and Particle Physics, and it manages a coordinated PhD programme with the topic of Particles, Fields and Messengers of the Universe.
The Master's programme connects science from the fields of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology and combines different disciplines in experimental and theoretical physics, astronomy, and astrophysics. Scientists of the Kepler Center use various methods to discover the origin, structure, and evolution of our universe and the properties of elementary particles under extreme conditions.
