约翰·霍普金斯大学的物理学和天文学研究生课程是该领域的顶尖课程之一。学生从第一学期开始就从事原始研究，并且可以灵活地选择研究课程并设计该课程的学习路径。在天体物理学，凝聚态物理学，粒子物理学和等离子光谱学领域，可以进行各种各样的研究项目（包括理论研究和实验研究）。研究生可以攻读物理学或天文学和天体物理学博士学位。我们的博士生为从事物理学和天文学的研究，教学或生物物理学，空间物理学和工业研究等应用做好了准备。
Graduate programs in physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University are among the top programs in the field. Students engage in original research starting in their first semester and have flexibility in choosing their course of research and designing their path through the program. A wide range of research projectsboth theoretical and experimentalare available in astrophysics, condensed matter physics, and particle physics. Graduate students can work toward a PhD in either physics or astronomy and astrophysics. Our doctoral students are prepared for careers in physics and astronomy research, teaching, or in applications such as biophysics, space physics, and industrial research. Graduate students at Johns Hopkins study and work in close collaboration with a world-renowned, award-winning physics and astronomy faculty, whose research is truly global. Students have access to state-of-the-art laboratories, and they are full participants in the vibrant intellectual life of the department. Research leading to the dissertation can be carried out not only within the Department of Physics and Astronomy, but also in collaboration with other research centers. Recent dissertation research has been conducted with members of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Space Telescope Science Institute, and the Goddard Space Flight Center.
