Students looking to increase their knowledge of astronomy and further their educational and employment goals in the field of cosmology may be interested in pursuing a Master of Science in Astronomy.

So what is an MSc in Astronomy? A master’s degree in astronomy will give students an in-depth education into cosmology, which will cover the creation and expansion of the universe and the solar system, dark matter, and the life cycle of stars and galaxies. The program may also include courses covering mathematics, physics and computational astrophysics.

Earning a Master of Science in Astronomy is highly beneficial for science professionals as it can offer a wide array of job choices. Observatories, colleges and universities, federal agencies, and laboratories all have a great need for highly skilled and educated astronomers.

The cost of pursing an advanced degree in astronomy varies widely from university to university and from country to country. Scholarships may be available based on your previous academic record and your desired field of study, or you may be eligible for financial aid and other need-based educational funding programs to help offset the cost of tuition and other fees.

Many professional astronomers are part of the faculty at colleges and universities, or are working at higher education affiliated laboratories where they may teach physics or astronomy courses. Observational astronomers may work at national observatories or even government laboratories, collecting data and then analyzing the data they receive. Some astronomers are also employed in the private sector, lending their skills and talents to businesses that need consulting. Astronomers can also be of great public service in science museums and planetariums as they help the general population to understand and appreciate astronomy and cosmology.

Individuals looking to increase their employment potential and gain further knowledge about the solar system, observational astronomy, astrophysics and planetary science can continue their education online.
