I think I might consider that. Actually physics is pretty much the same course as astrophysics in that university, just some subjects change depending on specialisation. In case I pick physics, I won't have subjects about stars, radiation and observational astronomy. Instead it's classes like...

Yeah, I find it quite funny that I have to choose between studying the vast and distant, and something that is so small and close. :)

Hello! I'm going to apply for a bachelor in a year. I haven't decided what I want to major in, but my top choices are astronomy (astrophysics) and nanotechnology (the course is called "Nanotechology, energy and materials"). I myself am more interested in the universe, space etc. I was almost...

Thanks for the reply! :) Will definitely watch those videos. Where should I start at khanacademy? Just as it goes on the page, arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra etc? And I actually started watching those astronomy courses at academicearth.org! It might actually be two years before I begin...

Thanks! I might get it, though some equations there look complicated. I read some pages here - http://press.princeton.edu/TOCs/c8457.html I think I might need something more basic! Oh and maybe more maths than physics because my knowledge of math is pretty much on high school level. But...

Hello! I'm going to study astrophysics next year, we will study the most of basic stuff on the way (calculus etc as well). I have some basic knowledge of physics and astronomy, but totally forgot basic mathematics since I didn't pay enough attention in school (which I regret now). So what...
