So You Want To Get an Astronomy/Astrophysics Degree

This is what you can expect if you decide to pursue astronomy or astrophysics at university. I started off as an astronomy major so know a lot about the degree program and what it involves. Check out my video about why I decided to major in physics/math instead: • Why I majored in physi...
I still think astro is a great choice if it interests you more.

I love astronomy with my entire heart...but I’m bad at math...

[@ariagrace7431]

People who confuse astronomy for astrology piss me off

[@ShopAssistance]

I want to learn astronomy but I’m weak at maths but strong in physics. I’m doing games design atm and considering taking a different path.

[@redberyl1115]

Im poor... and im dumb, but i love studying space and universe but my parents trying to choose other curses because they dont believe in me :(

[@chuusblackgf]

i'm a future astrophysics major! #classof2023

[@samiryounan8310]

"Whatever motivates you, do be prepared that most people will think you write horoscopes when you tell them what your major is" My fucking sides

[@lawrencep8923]

I really want to go into astronomy as it's my passion but I have never done computer science and I feel that would be quite a setback for me

[@isaacanderson971]

For all the people who are stressing because they aren’t good at something I’ll give you a little information. I was once failing many of my maths and science courses because I was horrible at math , so I thought. I simply changed my thought of mind and began studying and preparing on my own time because it was something I generally wanted .

[@una_10bananas]

I do physics in Ireland and you pretty much described my course! I actually decided to go more maths and theoretical but astro is interesting, just didn't want to do the computers.

[@umbrellaagent1543]

I’m certainly in college for physics and astronomy and I can’t wait for the day I get my PhD, I have a long time to wait but it’s definitely worth the wait, I can’t imagine myself doing anything else with my life

[@astromytimes.5687]

I am very passionate to do ph.d in astrophysics... Now at 10th standard.

[@abijohnson3231]

So basically- hard but freaking awesome

[@EnriqueMartinezECP]

I love this channel. I love physics.

[@grecoconan5858]

Your voice is relaxing.

[@rohitiistkerala2273]

Touched the core of my heart.... Thankyou Mam for the amazing information

[@Smurkishh]

I Always Loved Science, specially Astronomy and Astrophysics Good luck to those Majoring in those subjects!

[@charmendro]

Your videos (especially this one) has made me feel confident I can make it to an Astrophysicist PhD (btw love te music in this vid) THANK YOU

[@GhostXVll]

Thank you so much for this detailed breakdown.. you won't believe how much this helped me to understand. Do you by chance have any friends that are either Astrobiologist or Astrochemist that have similar video breakdowns for those fields do you? Again.. Great job! like and subbed.

[@kelsie.j]

sigh. i wish my maths skills weren’t so atrocious. i’m currently doing my degree in psychology and will be doing my PhD in Clinical Psych. one day, maybe one day... i’ll be able to pursue astrophysics.

[@noohin5044]

This video is very informational and calming ❤❤

[@matthewzarate9116]

Loved this

[@luckacyflare2737]

My life is astronomy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Charlie_.1501]

This kinda made me feel that I would never get the title

[@arghadeepsaha8598]

You are very creative. Well I like do astro from my childhood and ended up watching every astro TV shows.

[@abhirishi6200]

Amazing video, keep up your videos! They motivate me yo to switch from a computer science and electrical degrees.

[@vyomaran6723]

Thanks a lot for this video, it cleared some very basic and imp things for me. I am a high school student but want to study more astrophysics.

[@chrisschock9283]

This was helpful, Thank you :)

[@benb_]

Woah, I think I've seen you in Bowlingotter's comments before! I recognize your profile picture. I watch some of Tibees' videos, and I found another Bowlingotter fan :)

[@Elizabeth-so6zp]

I LOVE the way you explain all of this. I LOVE LOVE LOVE! the universe, but one thing worring me is that, I am not that good at maths like I would love to be. But I am not going to give up. I shall fight till the end. I am passionate about, I feel it! So I shall do it.

[@ro3062]

This is great and valuable information. Thank you for your insight. Highly motivational and uplifting. You're a great person for what you do and what you'll continue to do:)

[@marcalllopart1351]

Came across your channel,watched a few videos...best fucking video about careers i have watched. The music combined amazingly well with the topic.

[@tibees]

Thanks!

[@RockClass101]

I love astronomy! Have you considered making a similar video for the amateur enthusiast?

[@Maroniie]

So inspiring!!

[@maryzharikova6984]

Your videos are the most amazing which I ever seen😍

[@indrayanibhandare2662]

I really love astrophysics and you create great videos . Your inspirational astrophysics and astronomy talks motivate me to widen my knowledge . Can you please suggest names of universities which offers course in astrophysics ?

[@Taterzz]

glad i'm in SDSU, they got the hook up with the mount laguna observatory.

[@Faylasuf57]

Wow, great content and inspiring for my journey.

[@tibees]

Thanks for watching :)

[@dennisdreher4481]

Amazing video... I wish I could go to uni again and study astro physics! Plus, your voice is just most amazing! There is just no better way to learn maths or physics than when you explain it - how can something be so challenging and relaxing at the same time? :D

[@ShubhamKejriwal]

Yes. *Watches video* YES!!!

[@askastronomy8047]

Awesome video!!

[@JoseSanchez-lg8bh]

Recently I discover your channel on KZbin and you help me with a lot of information about the career and more! thank you for that :) Greetings from Chile !

[@ahmedsalem4675]

Great video 🤜🏼

[@ZakirHossain-pz4pd]

I'm going to do math as my major and a minor in computer science. I want to be a data scientist in physics field or finance. But I'm also passionate about "astro".

[@asimiftikhar3867]

Your Videos give me hope :D

[@cupcakes4100]

Thank you Tibees😂

[@danielfelipe1606]

I like astronomy so much that now i'm studying maths by my own. ( I used to hate this subject).

[@darwinnandigama5863]

Ocean & Space are most fascinating for me

[@Kritagya2007]

Andddd why is astrobiology so underrated.

[@MusicandRelaxation]

Hello @Tibees from France, Paris :-)

[@janosdomboroczki8456]

I work in gamedev now, as a coder(UE4/C++/Unity/C#). I want to work in physics/astronomy, so I am learning maths and physics in my free time. I'd love to work as tech stuff in an observatory. The thing is I am self taught, with no BsC.

[@imaneelfahssi606]

thank you about this informations ; as you say " follow your deams "

[@stevenjohnson3662]

I wanted to be an astronomer when I was little but now in a mechanical engineer in undergrad

[@fahadshafiq7141]

Just came across your channel. Your content is soo amazing. I personally have an interest in the theoratical side; currently doing the first year of my undergrad in mathematical physics. If i may ask, what area are you doing your phd in? Hopefully one day i'll be reading papers published with your name on it. :p

[@tibees]

I am doing my PhD in an area of biophysics, looking at how living cells respond to pressure

[@SinghRanjeet1974]

What to do if i want to be a major at astro?? I've completed my highschool and I'm very interested in astro.

[@mohammedsalmanali01]

This is inspiring

[@aleruri]

Great video. I find it really inspiring and informative. Astronomy has always been a passion for me but never got the chance to get into it. I currently work in IT but I am at a point in my life that I would love to change careers. I hold a bachelors in electronics engineering, a M.Eng with major in telecommunications, and a PhD in network engineering. I am considering in doing a master's degree in Astronomy next. As I can't really afford to be a full time student at the moment, I was thinking in pursuing an online master degree (USQ seems to have a good one). Would I be able to obtain a postdoc or a research position in Astronomy? Or is it necessary to have a PhD in Astronomy? Thanks

[@elijahartley6906]

I'm a sophomore in highschool this year and really want to go into the field of astronomy. I'm trying get ahead as much as possible before I start college. What are some steps I can take to help achieve that?

[@arpansharma2203]

Kunal nayyar

[@astronomylover4620]

thanck youuu very much

[@annamachata454]

For those who know more than me- would studying as a physics major and computer science minor for undergrad prepare me for a masters/PhD in astrophysics if my school does not offer a separate undergrad degree in astro?

[@nou3838]

me in 2020 waiting for james webb telescope to get lunched

[@parasbhatt9720]

Hello I'm good at Physics and that's my passion, but I don't like computer science.. I want to be a astophysicist 🙌🏻

[@anilmagare3646]

I want to be astronomy,and I will be astronomy

[@Peppe_The_Poltergeist]

I am only in middle school but I will become an Astronomer at Wisconsin University!! True Fact!!!

[@zach0522]

I only do research on the observable universe and I'm 8

[@antonyjoseph127]

I love to be a astrophysicist from younger ages. Now i have a diary to collect informations of different things

[@brundhaaa]

When can I begin?

[@sevgi6026]

Yep, this is what i want

[@pduffy421]

I would have loved to be an Astronomer but I am useless at maths and therefore Physics, so no chance. I am more interested in observing also and I don't believe a lot of the theories in modern Astronomy I am more inclined to the electromagnetic theory of Stars and that has yet to be accepted by main stream Astronomers.

[@MrJoeYellow]

I like it

[@justinmanzo3945]

Thanks

[@infinitasalo472]

I'm majoring in aerospace engineering starting this fall but I'm also drawn to astronomy. Do you guys think astro would be a good minor for someone like me?

[@tnk6158]

I've wanted to study astrophysics for a long time now but I'm so weak at maths physics and computer science 🙁

[@idaghani571]

I love astronomy but I don't want to be working on a computer all day! I might go for something like theoretical physics.

[@TheAnriii]

Aida Ghani Most of theoretical physics now also means being at computer whole day!

[@SergeantTopBins]

I want to go into the biomedical field but astronomy is my true passion- what to do

[@nanditasudhatiwari1332]

I am repeatedly asked by people that "Can You see Our Horoscope? " . I am like What? I Just don't understand from where does this confusion arise.....I have kept on explaining them the difference between the both but my patience level crossed its height when one of my student at Masters Level (Physics) said, Ma'am, you must be frequently asked about people's future? It is so interesting to predict future for others. The moment He said this I was Blown Away and then Exploded. :p :p .

[@quantumyoutubeguy2]

I’m already wanting an astrophysics major #classof2027

[@harshvardhan9593]

Can I do masters in astrophysics after doing bsc in physics???

[@xnlyxn9862]

The sixth forms I have applied to, none do Computer Science. Will this be a set-back for my application to universities? Planning to go ucl or queen's mary

[@Idk-km2yv]

If you are good in maths and physics then you are really good in computer science.

[@rafaelaradicic3029]

Can you do this for biophysics? 😀 When you find time of cours ☺

[@tylerchristensen1484]

What about people whose math skills are bad? Practice, practice, practice, right?

[@austinadel8224]

So if I study Physics as a scholar in a decent university in Europe, being financially not so wealthy , will I be able to find those types of work you mentioned at the end of the video.. and like... not having to return back to my country? Is it like.. guaranteed ?

[@miki_cz]

Yay Jupyter!

[@vineethonkan]

I like math/physics. Currently I work in a warehouse, but I'm working on my hs calculus credit to get into uni to study astro...

[@diracscat]

What software/programming is she doing at 6:22? #Tibees

[@samirmemon7759]

Nice

[@insaf3914]

Others stressing over theirs maths skills while me stressing over not having the chance to study the major at all because of my country

[@kmrdevansh]

Which computer courses needed for astronomy simulation,

[@milky_wayan]

I'm an astronomy undergrad but I've taken calculus 3 two times and haven't passed it. I honestly think I'm just not a person that's good with advanced math (I was fine with it up to calculus). Should I just give up?

[@milky_wayan]

Update: just watched your video on making friends to get better grades and I'm devastated to realize it so late. If I would've caught your video even three months ago I might've turned my grades around in calculus this semester. Damnit. Well, it's worth a try next semester. I barely have acquaintances from the clubs I go to though, the prospect of making friends with people in math class is daunting but I have to try something differently.

[@mchappymochi525]

bad at math but i can do this.

[@muhammadmarashli9794]

thanks for the great videos If I may ask..I am currently studying applied physics and am torn between taking math or computing as a minor, which one do u recommend? I believe that my major has too few courses of both , while math can be more helpful for PhD computing can be a safe net for finding a job and I like both thanks again for the awesome videos

[@tibees]

Probably computing if you are going for applied physics. The math would be better if you are interested in more theoretical aspects

[@muhammadmarashli9794]

thanks a lot...hope to see more awesome videos in the future

[@kevdennis4884]

Wondering if 49 is too old to study astrophysics and all of the related mathematics/sciences that supports it.

[@mellowfellow6816]

Anyone know what the music is? Sounds like Chris Zabriske

[@kaeysa9817]

So I am planning to further my studies in astrophysics and what A levels should I take. Did some research and some say I should do physics, maths, further mathemathics and chemistry but some sites said that its not necessary to take chemistry, and replace it with computer science. So what should i really take actually? 🤔

[@brandongiddings7110]

This is my future job

[@whitewolfthedeity1131]

What If I really suck at math?

[@nihalk.k]

I am good at math, physics, computer science soooooo....?

[@a.r.375]

I dont mind math or anything ... but physics is standing in my way :(

[@redaabakhti768]

General relativity ?

[@MathVidya]

@ Tibees So you want to be a scientist??

[@shubhamkanade7010]

I am interested in doing MS in astrophysics in USA ! Is it possible ? What is the average score required in general GRE and physics GRE ?? What are the jobs in future are available ? Please reply ! It will be very helpful ! Thank you ! :)

[@tibees]

I cannot comment on the GRE because those tests are not a requirement in Australia where I am studying. In terms of future jobs, outside of academia many astrophysics majors would go on to work in software

[@DanishGoldfish]

There aren't many MS programs in astronomy. It's mostly PhD programs from what I know. A lot of astronomy programs are starting to not require the physics GRE since it reveals very little about how well students conduct research. The general GRE should be pretty high though, with writing being the most important section. Hope this helps.
