Course Overview

Studying paleontology allows you to gain an understanding of the deep history of our planet and the origin and evolution of life on Earth. Our Earth History and Palaeontology Certificate in Higher Education will develop your key knowledge and research skills in this field. You will receive basic training in earth sciences with a specialization in stratigraphy, sedimentology, and paleontology. Our teaching philosophy is based around flexibility, allowing you to fit your study around your lifestyle. We embrace new technology and methods to make learning accessible to all and have been running remote as well as face-to-face lectures for more than 20 years.
