Astronomy Study Program ITB The Undergraduate programme in Astronomy (UPA), Master Programme in Astronomy (MPA), and Doctoral Programme in Astronomy (DPA) at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) belong to the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA). The roots of astronomy at ITB are closely tied to the establishment of the Bosscha Observatory in 1923, which laid the foundation for astronomical research and higher education in Indonesia. The formal beginning of UPA was marked by the appointment of G.B. van Albada as Professor of Astronomy in 1951. MPA was latter established in 1998 followed by DPA in 2006, providing the first and only comprehensive academic pathway in astronomy in Indonesia. All three study programmes are supported by the Astronomy Research Group.

Astronomy itself is a dynamic and rapidly evolving scientific discipline. All three study programmes are at the forefront of providing astronomy graduates who can compete globally to pursue a career path in astronomical research as well as being able to contribute significantly to the development of science and technology. In the modern scientific landscape, collaboration and international networking play a crucial role. Therefore, all three study programmes and Astronomy Research Group maintain extensive partnerships with institutions and research centers around the world, ensuring that its academic community remains connected to the forefront of astronomical researches and technologies.
