See attached for details of our Postgraduate Certificate in Antarctic Studies (PCAS). I would greatly appreciate it if it was possible for you to advertise this programme within your institute or workplace.
PCAS is a 15 week, in-depth, multi-disciplinary programme of study that critically examines contemporary scientific, environmental, social and political debates focused on Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. It includes a 10 day visit to Antarctica, supported by Antarctica New Zealand, where participants undertake a mix of analytical and interpretive field projects and environmental monitoring projects in the vicinity of Scott Base.
