New BSc Astronomy Major in 2015
New world-class astronomy facilities such as the Square Kilometre Array and the Southern African Large Telescope require a new generation of South African astronomers to help uncover the secrets of the Universe. In light of this, the School of Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science and the School of Chemistry & Physics at UKZN will be offering a new Major in Astronomy from 2015. This Major will be taught by academic staff at UKZN’s Astrophysics and Cosmology Unit (ACRU).
