G'day Ralph,
I have a question for you, if you don't mind...
I'm thinking strongly of studying astronomy formally to get a degree, and like you, I'm based in Melbourne.
I've been trying to find a good place to approach as a mature student, and I'm a bit snookered with limited options that I can see. Right now, my best alternative is a UK uni with an excellent international/online course, with options to replace pure and applied maths (which I suck at) with physics instead.
Locally, I know Monash has a dedicated Astro group, and that's probably my preferred option, but I was wondering how you went about choosing the best place, and where you ended up going? Obviously, our needs are probably very different, but any help would be very much appreciated!
Cheers,
Pete from Yarra Glen
