We offer a thesis-based as well as a course-based Master of Science (MSc). The course-based Master’s offers a solid background for students aiming at a professional career. The academic focus of the thesis-based Master’s is excellence in research and it aims to provide a starting point to students oriented toward PhD studies but also to professionally inclined candidates. Many of our thesis-based graduates have pursued PhD studies, but several have gone into successful professional careers right after completing their degree.

Bishop’s School of Education offers a Master of Education in Educational Studies and Leadership (M.Ed.) (non-thesis), designed to meet academic and professional needs of educators and administrators. As well, we offer a Master of Arts in Educational Studies (M.A.) (thesis) to prepare educational professionals to pursue research-based inquires, often leading to doctoral studies in education.

The Master’s Program is designed to give students a deeper appreciation of physics while giving them a comprehensive exposure to research methodology that will allow them to become independent researchers. Research is being carried out in the following areas: Astrophysics (Stellar and Binary Evolution, Exoplanets, Multi-Messenger Astrophysics).
