York course opens for applications
Postgrad diploma in The Geology of Yorkshire and Northern England is taking applications for 2016 entry, writes Amanda Pauw
The postgraduate diploma in The Geology of Yorkshire and Northern England, launched in September 2015 by the University of York, is currently considering applications for the new intake in September 2016. This two year part-time course is conducted entirely online via distance learning, but also includes a residential week in York at the beginning of each year for field and lab-based study.
Dr Annette McGrath told Geoscientist: ‘We are so lucky in the UK to have a great diversity of rocks and spectacular landscapes on our very own doorstep, and Northern England in particular has more than its fair share of world-famous geological features. This exciting and unique postgraduate diploma utilises this geological wealth and explores the main principles of geology through a regional examination of the area. The course has been a great success so far and this year we have seen keen interest from a number of potential applicants. Apply soon before it's too late!’
