Dear Dhrujay,
Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry to ascertain the nature of the heavenly bodies, rather than their positions or motions in space. Among the objects studied are the Sun, other stars, galaxies, extra-solar planets, the interstellar medium and the cosmic microwave background. Their emissions are examined across all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the properties examined include luminosity, density, temperature, and chemical composition. Because astrophysics is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mec

Hi Ishnoor,
A specialized space science course at Bachelor's level is hard to find. However, there are B.Sc programs in astronomy and astrophysics in The University of Toronto, McMaster University, York University, University of Manitoba, University of Calgary to name a few. Admission requirements are different but you need to have a strong profile in general, must be very good in mathematics and physics, take the SAT and IELTS or TOEFL. You should visit the university's websites for additional admission requirements and prepare accordingly.
