If you are interested in natural sciences, this international programme will appeal to you. You will study the physical processes in the universe, which means that physics and mathematics are an important part of the programme. Our three-year programme ranks as a top-degree in the Netherlands and has a regular intake of 20-30 students, ensuring many contact hours and availability of excellent facilities . You still have the opportunity to switch to Physics, Applied Physics or Mathematics in the first semester, which means you can never go wrong! Spectacular discoveries have recently been made in the field of astronomy, mainly because technological advances make new things possible. In Groningen you can concentrate on the universe itself, or on developing and improving instruments. Our broad programme offers a specialisation in instrumentation and informatics in the minor phase. The Groningen astronomers are among the best in the world. Research has been carried out at the University since 1883. Groningen astronomers collaborated in the development of the HIFI instrument in the Herschel space telescope, and are involved in the international LOFAR network of radio telescopes.
