University of Canterbury

If you want to study science at university level without having to commit to a full-time degree, you might consider the Certificate in Science (CertSc). It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Choose from a range of subjects that suit your specific science interests ranging from Astronomy, to Environmental Science, Medicinal Chemistry, and Psychology.
