====== Overview of Admission Requirements ======

===== Credit Recognition for Lab Courses =====

The astrophysics lab courses consist of two core components, which can be credited to different modules depending on the degree programme. For bachelor's students we offer the //Astronomical Lab Course// and for master's students the //Astrophysical Lab Course// (listed in Puls as //Lab course Astrophysics: Praktikum//).

===== Bachelor =====

==== Bachelor of Science: Physics ====

**__Regulations of 2015/16:__**

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.

===== Master =====

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.

====  Master of Science: Astrophysics ====

**__Regulations of 2016/17:__**

The //Astrophysical Lab Course// can be credited as //Lab course Astrophysics: Praktikum// within module **PHY-751 - Astrophysics II** (6 CP), which has the following structure:

   * //Lab course Astrophysics: Praktikum// (3 CP)
   * //Astrophysical Seminar for Master of Science Astrophysics// (3 CP)

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 member of the institute's teaching staff.
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.

**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//.

==== Master of Science: Physics =====

**__Regulations of 2019:__**

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.

===== Obsolete Courses =====

++++ Master of Science: Minor Subject Students |
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.
++++

++++ Bachelor of Education (Lehramt) |

**Regulations of 21 October 2004 with the amendment of 9 February 2006**

//Bachelor of Education - Physics as 1st Subject//

The Astronomical Lab Course and the Astrophysical Lab Course can together be credited as 588/3 if "Astrophysics" has been chosen as Elective Subject I. Only both lab courses together can be credited with 5 CP as 588/3. The requirement of having completed Module 585 in the same elective subject (Elective Subject I "Astrophysics") must be strictly observed. This means the lecture //Introduction to Astrophysics I// must have been attended. The second part of the lecture may be taken in parallel with the lab course.

//Bachelor of Education - Physics as 2nd Subject//

The Astronomical Lab Course and the Astrophysical Lab Course can together be credited as 588/3 if "Astrophysics" has been chosen as Elective Subject I. As a prerequisite, //Introduction to Astronomy I// is also accepted in lieu of the Introduction to Astrophysics course. The prerequisite is therefore //Introduction to Astrophysics I// **or** //Introduction to Astronomy I// (Part 1 attended, Part 2 optionally in parallel).

**Regulations of 12 September 2011**

//Bachelor of Education - Physics as 1st Subject//

Within module A541 with Astrophysics as a subject specialisation, the Astronomical Lab Course (1 semester, 1 SWS seminar + 1 SWS lab) can be taken together with the Introduction to Astrophysics (2 semesters, 2 SWS lecture + 1 SWS exercise each). Module A541 carries 10 CP and comprises:
  * Introduction to Astrophysics I & II (2 semesters, with exercises, 8 CP)
  * Astronomical Lab Course (2 CP)
It is advisable to have attended the lecture //Introduction to Astrophysics I// before enrolling in the Astronomical Lab Course. In the second semester, the second part of the lecture and the Astronomical Lab Course can then be taken in parallel.

Note: In the Master's programme with Physics as the 1st subject, Astrophysics can be chosen as a specialisation area (Module A841, 4 CP). This requires attending a lecture (2 SWS) with exercises (1 SWS). The options are:
  * Stars (Master's course)
  * Galaxies and Cosmology (Master's course)

//Bachelor of Education - Physics as 2nd Subject//

Unfortunately, the lab courses cannot be credited as modules. They may still be taken, and upon successful completion you will receive a certificate of participation.

++++ Master of Education (Lehramt) |

**Regulations of 21 October 2004 with the amendment of 9 February 2006**

//Master of Education - Physics as 1st and 2nd Subject//

Unfortunately, the lab courses cannot be credited as modules. They may still be taken, and upon successful completion you will receive a certificate of participation.

Note: Astrophysics can be chosen as a profession-related specialist module II: Modern Physics (Module 195, 4 CP). This requires selecting an appropriate course on a specific topic in astrophysics in consultation with the module coordinator.

**Regulations of 12 September 2011**

//Master of Education - Physics as 1st Subject//
