Notice: the study plan is undergoing a major revision. The structure of compulsory and elective courses will change significantly, so the information below may not match the programme offered to future applicants. The current study plan will be published on these pages once it is approved.

Bachelor’s study

To complete the programme you need to pass all compulsory courses, complete two courses of physical education  and earn at least 9 credits from the university-wide CORE courses.

To graduate you need at least 180 credits in total. To enrol in the next semester you need at least 20 credits for the current semester or 45 credits for two consecutive semesters.

 To keep track of completed courses, we recommend using the check templates in IS, in the sections Study progress check and Study planner.

Compulsory and elective courses by semester

In the first year, all compulsory courses are enrolled automatically and, according to the Dean’s directive , students must pass them. Other courses are not tied to a fixed semester, but a recommended order is given by prerequisites, the knowledge required and how courses build on each other.

Astrophysics study

Elective courses independent of semester

Throughout their studies, students can attend seminars and courses offered by the department, which can be taken repeatedly

F6730 ÚTFA Seminar is the department seminar
F5550 Astronomy Seminar
F7888 Cosmotea for the autumn semester, F8888 Cosmotea for the spring semester
F9878 Student Physics Seminar held over one weekend in the autumn semester.
