We are pleased to announce that we are still accepting registrations for this
course. The final deadline for enrolment is 29/11/99.

This new Advanced Certificate course proposes to offer training in powder
diffraction, one of the major techniques for solid-state materials research.
It will concentrate on providing the necessary crystallographic and
computational skills required for an understanding and usage of powder
diffraction. This new course is delivered via the Internet and makes use of
innovative technologies for distance learning. The course is ideally suited
for students new to solid-state chemistry/physics and material science.
For more information please browse the URL above or email the course organiser.

The fee for students within the European Union and countries in transition is
324 pounds sterling, for overseas self-financing students the cost is
648 pounds, and students with industrial or institutional sponsors 1008 pounds.
