An Introduction to Life in the Universe

An online adult course introducing astrobiology and the search for alien life, running weekly for six weeks.

This is a six-week online course for adults curious about whether we're alone in the Universe. Sessions run on Monday evenings, starting 2 November 2026, and cover astrobiology and the methods astronomers use to search for alien life. The course costs £106 and takes place entirely online, so you can join from home. It's pitched at adults wanting an introduction to the subject rather than existing experts.
