The modules include both experimental and theoretical aspects of Astronomy & Space Physics, and specialisations are possible in either of these. Upon completion of the Astronomy and Space Physics pathway, you will have a number of options e.g., research and development in a variety of industrial or corporate settings, the financial sector, or you can continue on to PhD studies that could lead to a career in academia or industry.\r\n\r\n**Programme structure**\r\n\r\nThe Master of Science in physical sciences comprises 120 ECTS points divided into 5 modules. The structure for the Astronomy or Space Physics pathway is the following: \r\n\r\n* 40 ECTS Master’s thesis module: 30 ECTS, thesis and 10 ECTS other studies, e.g., internship or project work \r\n* Two 20 ECTS  compulsory modules: Theoretical courses in space sciences, and Methodological courses in space sciences \r\n* 20 ECTS Thematic module that should be one of the following modules: Special courses in space sciences, Instrumentation for Space Sciences, Machine Learning, Physical modelling   \r\n* 20 ECTS Free module, with 5 ECTS obligatory Finnish language courses.\r\n\r\nAmong the thematic modules the module Special courses in space  sciences provides in-depth information on various subjects in astronomy and space physics. Physical modeling module supports theoretical studies in space sciences. Machine Learning module, and Instrumentation for Space Sciences module provide excellent support for experimental studies in space sciences.","valueFi":"**Content**\r\n\r\nThe Master’s Degree programme builds on the knowledge acquired during the Bachelor’s studies.

After completing the training, you will be able to use advanced theoretical and computational techniques and sophisticated data analysis techniques to interpret experimentally acquired data and to understand the properties and dynamics of the systems being observed. You will be trained to apply your skills specifically to astronomy and space physics research, but you can also apply your knowledge much more widely. The aim of the studies is to develop you into an independent expert who can critically evaluate information, design and conduct research to generate new knowledge, and to solve real scientific and technological problems, both independently and as part of a team. The studies will give you the ability to take part in developing technologies in order to maintain space as a sustainable environment for science, technology and businesses.","valueFi":"A Master's Degree in Astronomy and Space Physics prepares you for future employment in academia as well as in research and development in the private sector, education, and as a specialist in international organizations, governmental and financial institutions, etc. The Master's degree will provide students with the necessary numerical and problem-solving skills that will be valued widely.
