Advanced Astronomy Who Is It For?
This Advanced Astronomy course would suit those who want to learn more about astronomy after GCSE, but are not ready to take a degree in the subject!
Many candidates who take the GCSE in Astronomy wish to study the subject further, only to discover that astronomy is not available as a GCE A level subject.
This course follows on from GCSE Astronomy and assumes a sound knowledge of the basic concepts. The Advanced Astronomy course covers many of the topics studied at GCSE level but in greater depth, as well as introducing new topics.
Some of the assignment questions inevitably contain more calculations than at GCSE but they can all be carried out using just a scientific pocket calculator. The lesson notes contain examples of all the types of question in the assignment and the End Test.
Where any mathematical techniques may be unfamiliar, extra notes are given in the lesson. The course does not include the calculus.
