About this programme
The Institute of Astronomy offers the opportunity to study for the PhD degree, which is normally completed in three years. The format is almost entirely research-based, and while projects may be exclusively theoretical or observational, many combine aspects of both. Many projects incorporate aspects of Data Science, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. Note: The university also offers a PhD programme in Astrophysics at the Cavendish Laboratory.
