Anyone have experience of the distance learning from UCLAN?

[ChrisKnipe]

Hi all, I am looking around for an distance learning course for astronomy but have been put off from open university as they seem to be withdrawing from hard science subjects.

As an alternative I have seen seen various UCLAN courses and wondered if anyone has had any experience of these good or bad that they would like to share?

I have just finished the Intro to Astronomy course and found it to be very enjoyable. I got a final mark of 70% & will be doing the Intro to Cosmology in October.

It is very physics/maths based so be prepared for that.

Thank you for your replies. Lots to think about.

Not sure if this is of any use or whether you are looking for a higher qualification.
