De masterspecialisatie Astronomy and Education combineert eenjarig sterrenkunde onderzoek met een eenjarige lerarenopleiding. Studentdocenten ontwikkelen hun competenties om hun leservaringen te ontwikkelen en te verbeteren (bv door het maken en testen van presentaties over bepaalde onderwerpen). Deze specialisatie voldoet aan de eisen om een eerstegraads lesbevoegdheid in natuurkunde te ontvangen, die je nodig hebt om les te geven op middelbare scholen in Nederland.
