Astronomy courses

This is a list of subjects that the Department of Astronomy hopes to cover in the future along with related subjects that are helpful in studying astronomy.

Where are the courses?

Waiting for you to create one. Wikademia is a developing project, and depends on its contributors (anyone can contribute) for its content. Whether you call it a "course" or a "learning project", you can organize it here. Courses/Learning projects can be organised from a new "Topic" page, or directly in the Main namespace (ie without any prefix). We encourage you to take the initiative and add your materials here!
