Contents

Astrophysics is an international discipline. It is important to know what research is done in other places. Therefore regular talks (Colloquia) are held by Astronomers from all over the world.

In addition masters students give a student seminar every year in which they critically discuss a recent article, present the results and lead a discussion on the topic of the paper.

See Dr. Gijs Nelemans at the start of the academic year to choose an article and get a date assigned.

 

Each Astronomy master student will have to give a presentation each year in which he/she is doing his/her masters.
