| Prerequisites Notes | Students applying for MSc entry must have completed a four-year, BSc degree (or equivalent) in either Physics, Astronomy, or Engineering with at least a 70% (or B) average taken over the third and fourth year level undergraduate courses. Meeting this minimum standard, however, does not guarantee acceptance. Students with Engineering Degrees, should have some Physics courses at the third or fourth year level (e.g. Electricity and Magnetism or Quantum Mechanics) or take the GRE Physics examination.
Students applying for the MSc Astronomy degree are not required to possess an undergraduate degree in Astronomy. A Physics (or possibly Engineering) degree is also acceptable. | | |
