What was the inspiration behind the exhibit? About three years ago, Richard Ovenden, who is now the Bodleian’s Librarian, and Madeline Slaven, Head of Exhibitions floated the idea of doing something on the theme of volcanoes. This sounded like an exciting opportunity and we took it from there. On a personal level, my work tends to focus on the geology of volcanoes…

Nine University of California campuses placed among the top 150 universities in the world in rankings that focus on the quality of research and faculty released today (Aug. 15) by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. American universities dominated the 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities, with UC Berkeley coming in first among public universities, followed…
A course appreciated because, in my opinion, do not reflect the usual cold present in other courses, and the issues are covered with utility and not simply because they like to say in the lineup. - Ioan Bartoli (Student) To constantly improve my know-how on the Internet, Master University is an excellent partner. In fact I can find useful courses for the job…
Astronomers have released a new baby picture of the universe. The all-sky image draws on nine years worth of data from a now-retired spacecraft dubbed the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). WMAP launched in 2001 and from its perch a million miles away from Earth (in the direction opposite the sun) it scanned the heavens, mapping out the afterglow…

Astronomy is really titillating and physics very fascinating subject and they counted as one of the most intriguing and adorable subjects to study. Now this disciplines very important in developing new modern technologies. Many universities develop their own way of teaching them to give high quality of knowledge. Here is a slight overview about the top universities…
Physiology is the study of how the body works, specifically, how cells, tissues, and organisms function. It is a biological science that provides the foundation upon which we build our knowledge of what “life” is, how to treat disease, and how to cope with stresses imposed upon our bodies by different environments. The Physiology major – Overview The physiology…
The University does not offer a separate undergraduate major in Astronomy. Students who intend to pursue graduate study in astronomy or space science are encouraged to major in physics, following the advanced sequence if possible, or in electrical engineering if the student has a strongly developed interest in radioscience. The course descriptions for these basic…
