Postgraduate studies are a vital part of the Department's research activities. The PhD students work in close collaboration with their supervisors and colleagues in small research groups, which very often are parts of much larger international collaborations. Travels to conferences and visits to other institutes or observatories are natural ingredients of the education. Many of our postgraduate st

The bachelor's programme in physics, specializing in Astronomy and Astrophysics, is a three year programme resulting in a Bachelor of Science degree. The programme starts by giving you the physics and math tools you need to further your education, and as you specialize more and more the programme becomes flexible, giving you the opportunity to choose among the courses you are most interested in.

The Department of Physics offers a number of astronomy/astrophysics courses, at both undergraduate level (first cycle) and advanced level (second cycle). Many of the courses are relevant to physics students in general, and some are more broadly cross-disciplinary. The course page links go to course information pages in Canvas, where you can find information about syllabus, schedule, teachers, cour

For archival purposes we have gathered here information and resources that may still be useful to people. Following the reorganization of the physics subjects in the beginning of 2023 the Division of Astrophysics was formed under the Department of Physics.  Before that the astronomers at Lund University had been employed under Lund Observatory which was a part of the Department of Astronomy and Th

Elemental abundances of stars has proven to be a powerful tool in the quest for understanding the formation and evolution of our home galaxy – the Milky Way. In the field of Galactic Archaeology we use stars as timestamps of the Galactic interstellar medium from which they are formed. By considering stars formed at different epochs, we can create a timeline for how the Milky Way galaxy has evolved
