Cultural Astronomy and Astrology PGCE

This programme introduces the idea that the cosmos has been a central part of human life for thousands of years, influencing everything from religion and art to politics and architecture. Cultural Astronomy and Astrology looks at the ways people across time and place have made sense of the universe and their place within it. You will study both astronomy, the scientific study of the stars, and astrology, the practice of linking the movements of celestial bodies to human experience. The course takes a broad humanities approach, using disciplines like history, anthropology, and archaeology to help students understand the rich connections between the cosmos and human culture.
