The Centre for Astronomy was launched in January 2007, to bring together all the research and teaching of astronomy at University of Galway. Members of the Centre carry out research in Astronomy, Astronomical Instrumentation and Computational Astrophysics. Our research topics include: stars and planets (formation, magnetic fields, end stages of evolution), astronomical instrumentation, gamma ray astronomy.

We offer a Denominated Degree in Physics & Astrophysics. This degree has been running since 2000 and was the first such degree offered in Ireland. In addition Centre members are involved in the teaching of other undergraduate degree programmes in the School of Natural Sciences.
