Astronomy is a branch of Physics that deals with the universe and celestial objects, such as planets, stars, comets and galaxies. Its aim is to give scientific explanations for phenomena outside of the Earth’s atmosphere and observe any physical processes throughout the universe. Astronomy programs teach a variety of subjects that typically include Astrophysical Processes, Cosmology, Stellar & Galactic Astrophysics, Relativity, Celestial Mechanics, Astronomical Information Technology, Observational Astronomy, Astronomical Dynamics, High-energy Astrophysics, Solar Physics and others. Students learn about astrophysical processes, different techniques in astronomical observation, how to collect and interpret data, and explore current topics in modern Astronomy like black holes, active galaxies, planetary dynamics and galaxy formation. Astronomy students are encouraged to conduct research and develop analytical, critical-thinking, problem-solving, mathematical and scientific skills, as well as the ability to work in teams and use specific science-related software. Graduates in Astronomy are presented with a variety of career prospects – astrophysicist, aerospace engineer, data analyst, science journalist, astronomy educator in schools or higher institutions, climatologist, astronomer, laboratory manager, planetarium presenter, and others.
