| The astronomical laboratory course is addressed to bachelor students. The objective of this course is to get first experiences in handling astronomical instruments and to learn basic astrophysical research techniques. The observations are carried out at the student observatory (OST) at the Institute for Physics and Astrophysics at the University of Potsdam in Golm. There are accompanying seminars (every 14 days) in which the students give talks on basic principles and discuss the results of their observations. To each observation belongs an attestation and a short report. The grading for this module is calculated from evaluations of the attestation, the reports, and the seminar talks. | The astronomical laboratory course is addressed to bachelor students.

| The astrophysics laboratory course is designed for students in the master's program in physics and the master's program in astrophysics. Based on the knowledge obtained in the bachelor phase, more comprehensive observations are carried out, which also require a more sophisticated analysis. The observations and the associated analyses are designed to give an insight into scientific work. Reports are expected to be more extensive and detailed in comparison to bachelor course. In the accompanying seminar the results are presented and discussed, along with talks to present various laboratory course related topics (techniques, observations, objects etc.). The night observations are carried out at the students observatory (OST) at the Institute for Physics and Astrophysics at the University of Potsdam in Golm. The observation of the Sun will be performed at the Einsteinturm on the Telegrafenberg near the city center. | The astrophysics laboratory course is designed for students in the master's program in physics and the master's program in astrophysics.

| For students in physics, this course is part of **module PHY_741b** (specialization astrophysics/"Vertiefungsgebiet Astrophysik"). The talks and reports are counted as prerequisite for credits. The credit points are only given after an (oral) overall exam for the whole **module PHY_741b**, which also contains the master lectures ''Astrophysics I'' and ''II''. For students of the new master in astrophysics, this course belongs to **module PHY-751**. More details can be found in [[en:praktikum:zugangsvoraussetzung|admission requirements]]. | For students in physics, this course is part of **module PHY_741b** (specialization astrophysics/"Vertiefungsgebiet Astrophysik").
