Programme Description

The Programme covers theoretical knowledge and case studies of computational astrophysics, cosmology, galaxy physics, galaxy formation simulation methods, etc. Through the Programme, students will learn about frontier galaxy formation theory, galaxy simulation theory and coding to complete galaxy formation simulation.

Who can join the programme?

  • High school students
  • University students
  • Students interested in physics, astronomy, mathematics, natural sciences, or related fields

The programme can certainly provide excellent preparation for the IB Extended Essay (EE). It helps students understand the research process, develop research questions, and practice academic writing. If students follow our instructor-led programme and produce strong work, the outcome will be a high-quality paper that can be used as preparation for the IB Extended Essay.

Published Research Paper Option

Once students have completed the final draft of their papers, they may choose to submit their work to international academic journals indexed by CPCI or EI. We provide guidance and support throughout the submission process for these indexed publications.

The publication fee is £690 per research article, as determined by the journal. Once an article is accepted, it typically becomes searchable on Google and on the journal’s platform approximately seven months after the publication offer is made.
