Master's Degree in Astrophysics

Curriculum structure

Planning the teaching involves the structuring of content, systems and methodologies that make it possible to acquire the knowledge, capacities, abilities and basic skills necessary for students to be able to develop their activity in any of the lines specified in the professional profile defined for the degree.

The curriculum, structured into modules/subjects and courses, is based on the regulatory framework for the organisation and verification of official university education – RD 1393/2007 – and the guidelines developed by the University of La Laguna.
