    Welcome to the Department of Astronomy!

    Information about teaching spring 2021

    The president of Stockholms University decided on January 21 that teaching should continue to be given primarily remotely during the spring semester 2021, and that written exams on campus should not be held. In cases where teaching is given on campus, a maximum of eight people may gather at one time. Teaching at he Department of Astronomy will therefore continue according to the same principles as during the autumn.
