The first-year course “Sterrenkunde 1” is compulsory for all students enrolled in the BSc Physics and Astronomy. It gives a broad overview of astrophysics, from the basics of light, motion and gravity to the full range of astronomical objects and phenomena we encounter in the cosmos; from the birth of stars and planets to the evolution and fate of our universe. In addition there are several astronomy electives, both courses and projects, that go deeper into the various subjects covered in Sterrenkunde 1. An overview is given below.
