Course content

We're peering into the cosmos using a global toolkit! Our observational program taps into top-tier telescopes like the James Clerk Maxwell, GEMINI, and the UK Infrared Telescope in Hawaii, plus the La Palma Observatory, the Anglo-Australian Telescope, and even the iconic Hubble Space Telescope. We're especially passionate about unlocking the secrets of the 'Hidden Universe' – those dusty, cold regions where galaxies, stars, and planets are born. Think multi-wavelength magic to see what optical telescopes just can't! Want to explore the universe with us?
