===== Assignment to the laboratory courses =====

The lab courses in the astrophysical department consist of two basic building blocks: The astronomical & astrophysical laboratory course. The astronomical lab course is addressed to bachelor students, while master students can attend the astrophysical laboratory course. Depending on the respective study path these courses can be assigned to different modules and have slightly different demands.    

^ Course                      ^ Moduls      ^ Credit points (CP)         ^
| Astronomical laboratory course   | PHY_532           | 3 |
| Astrophysical laboratory course  | PHY_741b          | 2-3 |
| ::                               | PHY_732 & PHY-751 | 3 |

===== Bachelor =====
==== Bachelor of Science ====

/*
=== Examination regulations from 18. Februar 2015 with the 2nd amendment of 16. January 2019 ===
*/
The astronomical lab course („Astronomie im Praktikum“) is part of the elective module **PHY_532** ("Horizonte der Physik", 6 credit points). The lab course is offered in the winter semester. We recommend that the lab course is combined with the lecture „Distance determinations“.

/*
=== Examination regulations from 28. April 2010: ===
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 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. 
++++

*/

===== Master =====
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).
   * 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.

The **astrophysical lab course** is part of the module **PHY-751** (6 credit points). The second part of the module is the **Astrophysical Seminar for Master of Science Astrophysics**, where the students give a 30 min talk on a topic that is chosen and prepared in co-ordination with one of the lecturers from the department. This talk is the basis for the evaluation of the whole module, while it is just required to pass the lab course. Please be aware of the fact that the lab course also includes a seminar, which is not same as the Astrophysical Seminar for Master of Science Astrophysics. 

An introductory courses to astrophysics is recommended before attending this lab course.

==== Master of Science ====
/* === Examination regulations 28. April 2010: === */

**__Examination regulations of 2012__**:

The **astrophysical lab course together with different lectures in astrophysics** constitute the **module PHY_741b** („Astrophysik“). This module (12CP) consist of:
  * 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__**:

The **Astrophysics lab course** can be included in the **module PHY_741b** ("Astrophysik"). The module (12CP) consists of:
  * 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.

===== Expired courses ===== 
++++ Physics as a subsidiary subject |
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.

++++ Bachelor education |

**Examination regulations from 21. October 2004 with changes from 9. February 2006**

//Bachelor education with physic as the first major//

The astronomical lab course together with the astrophysical lab course can be attended within the context of the module 588/3, if astrophysics is chosen as an elective subject („Wahlfach I“). Both lab courses together give 5 credits. The requirement for this lab course is the lecture //Grundkurs Astrophysik I//, which belongs to the module 585. The second part (//Grundkurs Astrophysik II//) can be attend in parallel to the lab course.

//Bachelor education with physic as the second major//

The astronomical lab course together with the astrophysical lab course can be attended within the context of the module 588/3, if astrophysics is chosen as an elective subject („Wahlfach I“). Both lab courses together give 5 credits. The requirement for this lab course is one of the following two lectures: //Einführung in die Astronomie I// or //Grundkurs Astrophysik I//. The second part of either lecture can be attend in parallel to the lab course.

**Examination regulations from 12. September 2011**

//Bachelor education with physic as the first major//

The astronomical lab course can be attended together with the lectures //Grundkurs Astrophysik I & II//. The corresponding module is A541, which offers the possibility to earn 10 credits. It is recommended that the first part of the lecture was completed before starting with the lab course, while the second part can be attend in parallel.

Please note: Astrophysics can be chosen in the master education program in the scope of the module A841 (//Vertiefungsgebiet//, 4 credits). A lecture in combination with an exercise needs to be attended for this module. You can select one of the following two options:
  * Stars and stellar evolution 
  * Galaxies and cosmology 

//Bachelor education with physic as the second major//
Unfortunately, the lab courses are not part of any module. Nevertheless, you can attend the lab courses and get a certificate of participation.

++++ Diploma students |
The old diploma program includes a research traineeship (//Forschungspraktikum//), which can be carried out in Astrophysics. The students need to attend to both laboratory courses, i.e. the astronomical and the astrophysical one. These are thought to be accompanied by the elective course (//Wahlpflichtfach//) Astrophysics.
