Paleontology is the science dealing with the fossils of long-deceased animals and plants that lived up to billions of years ago. Its an interdisciplinary field involving geology, archaeology chemistry, biology, archaeology and anthropology. This Certificate course by UK Public College is designed to provide participants with the historical background and process of evolution by examining fossils, the preserved traces of long dead animals and plants. This level 6 Paleontology Certificate course focuses on the study of fossils and ancient life forms. It is an interdisciplinary program designed to give participants a strong background in paleontology, earth sciences, and biological sciences, and prepares you for graduate-level studies.
