The Australian National University offers the only specialist astrophysics honours program in Australia. The course is designed as a preparation for PhD research in astrophysics. Any student completing the course will be in an excellent position to continue to astrophysical research at any Australian university, or overseas. This means that we can offer a much wider range of honours projects and courses. Our honours program allows you to specialise completely in astronomy and astrophysics, if you wish.
