Generally earned from a college or university, a Bachelor of Science (BSc) is an undergraduate study of a science-related subject or field. Many students can earn their bachelor's degree within three to five years.

What is a BSc in Astronomy? Students who are interested in how galaxies form, the age of the universe and how planetary systems are formed may enjoy studying astronomy. Astronomy is the study of the universe, especially in relation to galaxies, stars and planetary systems. Using the laws of physics, students can learn about the nature of celestial objects, as well as study planetary science and astrophysics. Some of the courses may cover areas of space science, astrophysics and engineering.

Earning a bachelor's degree can better a candidate’s chances of earning a higher salary for some positions, and when seeking employment may give a graduate a leg up over those with no degree or with a lesser degree. Students who choose to embark on this program can also benefit from an enhanced understanding of natural sciences and the physical processes of the universe.

Programs are offered from several institutions across the globe. The costs of the degree will vary depending on the institution and country in which it is located. Prospective students should contact the office of admissions directly to find out if the program is a good match and to understand the associated costs.

With increased skills in astronomy, physics and mathematics, graduates can find successful careers within several industries. Some of the career opportunities a graduate can pursue include becoming a scientific programmer, telescope operator, research assistant, defense industry team member or industrial researcher. With continued education, a graduate can pursue a career path as a researcher, university professor, planetary scientist or optical engineer.

Enrolling in this program can help launch an individual into a successful scientific career. To take advantage of this opportunity, search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
