MSc Astronomy

In 2004 I finally decided to pursue the masters degree that I had been contemplating for a few years. Not wanting to undertake another technology subject, I decided upon Astronomy, a science that has interested me since a child.

It so happened that a very credible university in Melbourne, Australia - Swinburne University - offered a high quality online Masters program, so I enrolled.

Due to other life pressures I only got as far as passing the first 4 units. I intend to return in later years to get the other 12.
