Astronomy (master's two years)

How can the temperature in the outer part of the sun's atmosphere be several million degrees, when the temperature in the layers just below is a few thousand? What is it that makes the universe expand faster? How were the super massive black holes in galaxies formed? These are some of the questions you can explore as a master's student in astronomy.
