The Centre for Adult Learning & Professional Development in NUI Galway has been in touch to say that the university is offering a Diploma in Scientific Studies (Earth & Ocean Sciences) starting in September 2021. The course will appeal to those with an interest in our natural environment and the outdoors and as such may be of interest to club members. The Diploma in Scientific Studies (Earth & Ocean Sciences) aims to provide students with a broad introduction to the study of the Earth’s solid geology and its coastal ocean, with hands-on, practical experience of the techniques employed within the fields of geology, oceanography, and Earth observation.
