Undergraduate / Bachelor diploma (or higher)

BSc degree or equivalent in physical sciences, earth sciences or any other area of sciences. Applicants still pursuing their BSc studies should obtain the diploma, or at least a certificate of being entitled to the diploma, before starting their MSc studies.

BSc-level knowledge of key areas of mathematics, physics and information technology (IT). If BSc degree is in (or with a specialisation in) physical sciences, this knowledge is assumed; otherwise, evidence in the form of transcripts must be presented.

Preferably, BSc-level knowledge of astronomy . If Bsc degree is in (or with a specialisation in) astronomy or astrophysics, this knowledge is assumed; otherwise, evidence in the form of transcripts must be presented or alternatively the applicant should pass an oral examination. Applicants with no such knowledge in astronomy may still be admitted but they will be compelled to attend a selected set of preparatory courses in BSc-level astronomy. This is likely to increase the full training period by 1 or 2 semesters.
