Professions that change the world are the ones that encourage and strive for the understanding of nature and the universe. Scientists, mathematicians, astronauts, astronomers are the known personalities to carry out these tasks throughout history and providing the world with the critical information and knowledge about nature and how it works. In the ancient and the medieval times, scientists were just a subject of mockery for the people for their ideas that seemed daydreaming to a mere mortal. Many of the great minds couldn’t make it to the pages just because of this stereotype of scientists being madmen, but now it is not the same.

Nowadays, they are encouraged, nurtured and provided with the best facilities, apparatus, and technologies to take out the best of their minds in the hope to discover something that would reveal more about the universe and our place in it. Not even scientists but the ones who seek to be a part of the world of scientific explorations and research outside the earth are now provided with the best educational systems to be trained with and to be a boon to the mankind. Courses are there at institutions set up especially working in the field of space science for the best possible outcomes for the defense and military outputs by the country. In the modern times, the space research facilitation's and the courses available are all state of the art which encourages the diversification of more and more courses for the students interested in space science.

Following are some courses that are available in India as well as abroad in the field of space research:-

  1. Stellar evolution and structure Involve the observation and study of the extraterrestrial bodies such as Sun, stars, planets, galaxies etc. Studies about the physical properties of mass, composition, density are performed.
  2. Planetary exploration and comparison: This course requires at least one year of practice in mathematics, physics and engineering studies. This type, of course, lays stress on the comparison of the planets discovered by the imaging of the telescopes and comparing them with Earth.
  3. Astronomy lab and observations: These types, of course, involve the study of celestial objects and planets through a telescope and study their motion through space and compare it with others. It also is responsible for the discovery of new planets and galaxies.
  4. Other courses that have a specialized curriculum of subjects related to physics, mathematics or/and chemistry could also be considered as an opportunity by courses for an entry in space research field or applying for jobs related to it.
  5. Studying Abroad is also an option for students who are eager to get into space research if regardless of the expenditure in foreign countries. Under Graduate and postgraduate courses are available for students who have passed their intermediate or UG degree from a recognized board/University. A vast number of universities in Australia, Ireland, UK, US are offering the best in class courses in Under Graduate and Post Graduate schemes for meritorious students. For postgraduate courses, USA and UK could be an option for students interested in courses related to space science. It is surely a matter of high cost when it comes to the abroad study prospect, but for students who are seeking courses with the minimal of tuition fees can go for admission in countries in the European continent i.e. Germany and Norway.

Courses that would ensure an entry into space research is not specific. It is in the interest of an individual. Even someone with a non-technical background gets a job related to space exploration in laboratories. But it is necessary that the person has a thorough knowledge of mathematics and physics. Courses like B.Tech and B.Sc are also the courses that would be fit for the eligibility criteria for the selection in space laboratories, planetariums, observatories or even be considered for other jobs related to the field. However, there is never a lack of options for anyone who wants to set foot in the space research field and are eager to perform for the better understanding of the universe and unveil all the secrets that are held by it.
