Welcome to STFC Introduction to Astronomy Summer School

The School is aimed at new and recently-started PhD students and other early-career scientists in the field of astrophysics. We will cover different topics, ranging from exoplanets to star formation, observational techniques, galaxies, cosmology, gravitational waves, dark matter, and astrobiology, as well as transferable skills such as computational resources, careers advice, public engagement, and well-being.
