About Master of Science - Astrophysics & Relativity (DC742)
The Master of Science in Astrophysics and Relativity is a one-year full-time course. Students will gain advanced knowledge of astrophysics, general relativity, computational science and data analysis and the up-to-date skills required to understand the universe we live in. They will also learn a variety of computational and data analysis skills that are highly sought-after in a wide range of industries.
The detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO and VIRGO gravitational wave observatories and developments in electromagnetic based observations are contributing to the continued growth of the fields of astrophysics and cosmology, for example the direct imaging of the black hole at the Centre of the galaxy M87 by the Event Horizon Telescope. There is a need to increase the number of scientists with the advanced knowledge and skills required to work in these fields, modelling the behavior of high-energy sources, predicting their electromagnetic and gravitational wave emissions, observing these signals, and analyzing the corresponding data streams.
The course is jointly run by the DCU School of Mathematical Sciences and the DCU School of Physical Sciences and led by researchers from the Centre for Astrophysics and Relativity.
