Academic programs
Graduate and undergraduate studies in astronomy-related fields are carried out in multiple departments at UVic. Many students do some or all of their research at ; this is an excellent option when students are interested in instrumentation and using it for their science programs.
Students from any Canadian university who are interested in instrumentation may also apply to the NTCO program. Selected students are provided with funding, professional skills training, real-life experience through industry internships, and connections to researchers at universities and government labs.
