With the advent of PIRATE (Physics Innovations Robotic Astronomical Telescope Explorer) the robotic telescope, the new remotely controlled radio telescope (currently under construction/fine tuning stages) and the internet, performing live practical astronomical observations are made easier to conduct from home, especially when considering the importance of project work in Master Degrees.

Also, due to the increased popularity in the subject of Physics/Astronomy as well as a steep gradient showing the increased number of students studying physics/astronomy at Universities across the country, this can be financially viable, especially if it is aimed at those graduates from Brick Universities as well as OU graduates, as both may struggle financially to opt for full-time postgraduate study.

So please help build genuine interest in this potential Masters Scheme by signing this petition and sharing, 1000 signatures should give us the attention we need.
