Overview of Admission Requirements

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.

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.

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.
