Current students
If you are currently enrolled on a UCLan Astronony programme, or have had a break in study of no longer than one academic year, then please contact us in the usual way informing us of which module and/or certificate you wish to study in 2010/11. This should significantly speed up the registration process. If you are currently studying a multi-module programme (Advanced Certificate, Certificate of Higher Education, Diploma of Higher Education or BSc(Hons) degree) we contacted you after the assessment boards in June regarding progression to your next module. If you have not yet informed us of your 2010/11 module choices please do so by Wednesday 15th September 2010.
