Institute of Astronomy

The Institute of Astronomy, nestled within the prestigious University of Cambridge, is renowned for its dedication to postgraduate education and the progression of research. Its operations are considerably strengthened by the generous backing it receives from external entities. Among these, the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), formerly known as SERC, stands out as a significant contributor.

In addition to its domestic operations, the Institute of Astronomy also extends its reach globally. The provision of external resources to support a multitude of foreign astronomers has bolstered its reputation. This international collaboration has effectively positioned the Institute as a leading international research centre within the field of astronomy.
