The Master of Science in Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology (Fast Track) at the University of Zurich is intended for exceptional students aiming for advanced research careers. The program prepares students for direct transition into doctoral studies. It includes advanced coursework in general relativity, theoretical astrophysics, computational methods, and hands-on original research projects (55 ECTS). Students also gain analytical, numerical, and data analysis skills vital for fundamental science, industry, or space-sector roles. The primary language of instruction is English, and at least 30 ECTS credits must be earned from modules approved by the doctoral committee. Graduates are typically ready to pursue a PhD, and exceptional students can transition directly into the corresponding doctoral program after a research thesis and qualifying exam. 来源： https://www.uzh.ch/en/studies/programs/phd.html
