| The astronomical lab course („Astronomisches Praktikum“) is part of the elective **module 531** („Naturwissenschaftliche Fächer“). Two credit points can be attained for this course. | |
| |
| ++++ Please note: | | The //Astronomical Lab Course// can be taken as part of the course ''Astronomie im Praktikum und kosmische Distanzen'' within the Elective Modules (Field of Specialization) in module **PHY_534 - Frontiers in science** (6 CP). The course is offered every summer semester. |
| The lecture „Einführung in die Astronomie“ is a course that extends over two semesters. It can be chosen in the module 131c „Zusatzfach“ (8 credits). If astrophysics is chosen as a specialization (module 541b), it is recommended to attended the lecture „Grundkurs Astrophysik“ (8 credits) in the 5./6. semester. Furthermore, one should use the opportunity to choose further lectures from the astrophysical canon in the module 531 „Naturwissenschaftliche Fächer“. The bachelor thesis can then also be written in the astrophysical field. | |

| The astrophysics lab course is available in different variants, since a different number of CP is assigned depending on the specific regulations and curricula. In the "standard version" the lab course has a scope of 3CP. If 4CP are required, an additional contribution such as a term paper or a further observation has to be carried out. If only 2CP are required, one observation can be skipped. | |
| ==== Master astrophysics ==== | |
| The Astrophysics lab course is a part of the module **PHY-751** (6CP), which has the following structure: | |
| |
| * Lab course Astrophysics (3CP). | The //Astrophysical Lab Course// is available in different versions, as the number of credit points awarded varies depending on the regulations and degree programme. In the "standard version" the lab course carries 3 CP. For 4 CP, an additional piece of work is required, such as a written assignment or an additional observation. If only 2 CP are needed, one observation is omitted, among other adjustments. |
| * Astrophysical Seminar for Master of Science Astrophysics (3CP) | |
| |
| The second part of the module is the **Astrophysical Seminar for Master of Science Astrophysics**, in which students give a 30 minute talk on a topic they have chosen and prepared together with a lecturer of the institute. This presentation is the basis for the evaluation of the whole module, while the lab course as such is ungraded. However, passing the lab course is a prerequisite for successfully completing the module. Furthermore, it should be noted that the lab course includes a seminar which is not identical to the Astrophysical Seminar for Master of Science Astrophysics. It is recommended that an introductory course in astrophysics be taken prior to the lab course. | ==== Master of Science: Astrophysics ==== |

| | This talk forms the basis for the assessment of the entire module, while the lab course itself is ungraded. However, passing the lab course is a prerequisite for successfully completing the module. |
| |
| The **astrophysical lab course together with different lectures in astrophysics** constitute the **module PHY_741b** („Astrophysik“). This module (12CP) consist of: | **Note:** Please also be aware that a seminar is associated with the lab course (listed in Puls as //Lab course Astrophysics//), which is not identical to the //Astrophysical Seminar for Master of Science Astrophysics//. |
| * Stars and stellar evolution (2V1Ü, 4CP) | |
| * Galaxies and Cosmology (2V1Ü, 4CP) | |
| * Astrophysical lab course (2V1Ü, 4CP) | |
| The module is completed by an oral exam. It is recommended to attend additional astrophysical lectures in the module PHY_731 („Profilierungsfelder“), if astrophysics is chosen as the specialization. The master thesis can then also be written in the astrophysical department. Alternatively, the lab course can also be part of the elective **module PHY_731** („Profilierungsfelder“) or **PHY_732** („Physikalische Fächer“). For the **module PHY_731** the lab course is available in two versions with 3 or 4CP, respectively. | |

| **__Examination regulations of 2019__**: | ==== Master of Science: Physics ===== |
| |
| The **Astrophysics lab course** can be included in the **module PHY_741b** ("Astrophysik"). The module (12CP) consists of: | **__Regulations of 2019:__** |
| * Stars and stellar evolution (2V1Ü + 1S or 1P, 6CP) | |
| * Galaxies and Cosmology (2V1Ü + 1S or 1P, 6CP) | |
| |
| If the lab course is taken, the seminars associated with the above courses can be waived. Since only 2CP are required for this module, the scope of the astrophysics lab course is reduced compared to the above majors. | The //Astrophysical Lab Course// can be credited under Elective Modules (Profiling) within **Module PHY_741b - Advanced Astrophyics**. The module (12 CP) additionally consists of: |
| | * Stars and Stellar Evolution (2V1Ü + 1S or 1P, 6 CP) |
| | * Galaxies and Cosmology (2V1Ü + 1S or 1P, 6 CP) |
| | |
| | If the lab course is taken, the seminars associated with those courses are waived. Since only 2 CP are required for this module, the scope of the astrophysical lab course is smaller here than in the Astrophysics Master. |

| ++++ Physics as a subsidiary subject | | Until summer semester 2018, the Astronomical Lab Course could be credited in some degree programmes (e.g. "Computational Science") as the "Astro Lab Course for Minor Subject Students". In addition to the lab course, a lecture with accompanying exercises in "Astrophysics I" must be taken. It is recommended that the "Introduction to Astrophysics" course has already been completed. |
| Within the scope of some study paths (such as Computational Science), the astronomical lab course was offered as „Astropraktikum für Nebenfachstudierende“ **until the end of the summer semester 2018**. The module number will be different in each of these majors. In any case, to successfully complete these modules, one lecture from the lecture series „Astrophysik I“ needs to be attended in addition to the lab course. We recommend the lecture „Grundkurs Astrophysik“ as a preparation for the lab course. | |
