Foreign Perspectives

Now that I’ve realised that I can use some of the short courses to bulk up the life sciences degree to the 360 points, it opens up a whole range of options for the October to June slot for the next two or three years.

Since it’s now basically a free choice in October I could include the World Archaeology course which I’ve been wanting to do for a while now and with its new November start date it’s looking very doable.

A second series of options relate to the psychology degree. I’d been planning on skipping level one altogether for that but as I won’t finish it before 2015 I’ll have to include both Discovering Psychology (no exam) and Introducing Health Sciences (a life sciences course obviously). In fact, postponing S205 gives me both October 2011 and October 2012 as slots for those.

Finally, there’s Planetary science and the search for life which would complete my Certificate in Astronomy and Planetary Science.

I don’t need to decide between them ’til after Easter which is handy as it’ll give me enough time to see how the certificate in web applications courses run alongside larger courses. At the moment I think my front runner would be the world archaeology course probably followed by the planetary science one the following year.
