Master of Science (MSc)

Gaia University Master’s degree programs are designed for those making the transition from functioning at an operational level to becoming strategic. They are also suited to those moving out of a corporate career and into a career in ecosocial regeneration. Prior hands-on life and field experience is a requirement for admission to a Master’s program. At the Master’s level, transition and leadership are important threads. You will be exploring your capacities for making personal and pathway transitions while taking on leadership roles and looking for opportunities to challenge yourself using Gaia University’s support structures to process any resistances and fears that may arise. Master’s Pathways: You have a choice of three pathways – Integrative Ecosocial Design (IESD), Regenerative Enterprise Design and Development (REDD), and Open Topic. The Open Topic pathway allows you to propose a name for your degree based on the work you have done and the skills you have developed during your degree time.

This learning module provides an introduction to modern cosmology and how it explains some experimental facts about our Universe. We start by discussing the homogenous universe described by the FRW spacetime, explain the various components of the matter content, touch on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, CMB, dark matter, and dark energy. We also discuss motivations for introducing inflation and how it predicts the right kind of fluctuations that lead to the structure formation in our Universe.
