Hi Naut,

I currently doing a double degree Electronic Engineering and Physics. This also could lead into the SKA as well. I was talking to one of the marketing guys in Science an Engineering at Curtin mentioned that that course was specifically geared for Radio Astronomy although in Curtin they have a specific Radio Astronomy Degree.

The only issue is that I don't think they can be provided via Correspondence as there is a lot of LAB work.
