Astronomy at the University of Bonn

The Argelander-Institute for Astronomie (AIfA) is one part of the  Fachgruppe Physics and Astronomy and provides top-class research and excellent education.

The Institute's research groups focus on various areas of theoretical and observational astronomy - from stars to cosmology in national and international collaborations with other research institutions and large-scale astronomical projects.

With its own Master of Astrophysics course, the AIfA is involved in the education of young students alongside the Bachelor of Physics. Many international doctoral students are also trained, in part through the Bonn-Cologne Graduate School (BCGS).
