Overview

Cultural Astronomy and Astrology (Part-time) from The University of Wales Trinity Saint David draws on different disciplines from the Humanities in order to gain as full a view as possible of the entire subject. Through history, we look to the past, and through anthropology, we study the present. We also draw on archaeology, sociology, philosophy and the study of religions.

Quick Facts:

We offer flexible levels of study and students who don’t wish to take the whole MA programme may take one module as an Occasional Students, two modules for a Postgraduate Certificate, or four for a Postgraduate Diploma.
Students from some other MAs in the University can take some Cultural Astronomy and Astrology modules towards their own qualifications. These include Ancient Religion, the Study of Religions, Engaged Anthropology, and Ecology and Spirituality. If you are interested you should consult your Programme Director.
Our students live in every continent and, by joining us, you join a world-wide community of scholars. Teaching online means that we form an international community connected online. The University has four campuses and a number of affiliated Colleges. We call our campus, the ‘Cloud Campus’.
We also hold an annual summer school. We combine staff lectures with classes and a chance for students to present their work and an excursion. It’s a chance to work, study and socialise.
