CGA academics are engaged with the teaching efforts of both Research Schools of Physics and Astronomy and Astrophysics, offering several undergraduate and postgraduate coursework options in instrumentation, optics, astronomy, and astrophysics. If you are already enrolled at ANU and looking to add a flavour of gravitational wave science to your program, consider the following courses taught/co-taught by CGA academics:
Undergraduate/Postgraduate
- General Relativity PHYS3203/PHYS6203
- Galaxies and Cosmology ASTR3002/ASTR6002
- Observational Techniques ASTR4011/ASTR8011
- Photonic Sensing Systems PHYS3051/ENGN4613/PHYS6502/ENGN6613
Postgraduate only
Master degrees
This master (NSCPI - VSCPI) is a two-year master’s program which gives students an opportunity to develop the skills at the heart of precision measurement – including gravitational wave instrumentation. Students will have the opportunity to undertake coursework in optics, measurement, and rapid prototyping techniques.
More information
The Advanced programs includes the opportunity for an extended research project, which if you are interested in gravitational wave science, can be undertaken with CGA researchers. To learn more about the research opportunities at CGA, see Study by Research or have a look at our projects page for what our academics are working on today!
