Give me names of Universities

I know that Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool, and University College London have astronomy programs - probably many more do as well. If you want to work as an astronomer (teach university or do research), you'll need a Ph.D. That's four years of undergrad (mostly physics, math, and some astronomy) and about six years of grad school (again, a lot of physics and astronomy).
Astronomers can find work at universities and colleges for some combination of teaching and research, or can work for the gov't (ESA, NASA), or for various national labs (NRAO, NOAO, NSO) or sometimes for aerospace companies.

You can find details of courses on the UCAS site (link below) - looks like quite a few places do Astronomy.
It's hard to say what the job prospects are like for an astronomer specifically as it's such a specialised job, but people with science degrees such as astonomy are in high demand due to their maths and IT skills - quite a few end up making a mint as management consultants.
