Students who have completed some modules as free-standing Certificates may like to take their astronomy studies further to a degree in astronomy. The StudyAstronomy programme offers a range of awards from the Certificate of Higher Education in Astronomy to a full 18-module BSc (hons) in Astronomy.
All of these awards require you to have studied certain pre-requisite modules first before taking a degree in astronomy. The CertHE, DipHE and BSc are all flexible in duration and allow you to choose modules from UCLan or appropriate credit-bearing modules from other institutes by a system of accreditation of prior learning.
