Double Master's degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics

Our Master’s programme in Astronomy and Astrophysics is a two-year programme offered in close collaboration with the University of Milano-Bicocca. Students who begin their studies at Stockholm University complete the first year within our programme, focusing on core and advanced courses in astronomy and astrophysics.

Students who are subsequently admitted to the double Master’s degree track have the opportunity to spend their second year at the University of Milano-Bicocca. This final year consists of specialised coursework and an independent Master’s thesis project. Upon successful completion of the programme, graduates are awarded a double Master’s degree, receiving one diploma from the University of Milano-Bicocca and one from Stockholm University, providing a strong international academic profile.
