Course Summary

Cultural Astronomy and Astrology (MA) is a unique distance learning course that explores how humans connect with the planets, stars, and sky, and how these connections shape culture and society. This course is taught within the Sophia Centre for the Study of Cosmology in Culture at the Institute of Education and Humanities. This programme examines the ways we understand our place in the universe. Every atom in our bodies has passed through stars, meaning that we are literally made of stardust. For thousands of years, people have explored their emotional, physical, and spiritual links with the sky. These connections can be seen in many areas of life, from religion and creativity to politics and architecture. Cultural Astronomy and Astrology (MA) is the only academic degree in the world that focuses on how human beings relate to the cosmos. The course takes a multi-disciplinary humanities approach, using fields like history, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, and the study of religions to give students a full understanding of the subject. This broad approach helps to explain the complex links between astrological, astronomical, and cosmological beliefs and practices across different times and cultures.
