Applications close this Friday for the MSc in Holistic Science. Apply now for your chance to study with James Lovelock and other visiting teachers

Closing date for applications to the 2009/10 programme: Friday 27 February 2009

A few hours ago James Lovelock, world famous scientist and founder of Gaia theory was speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. He was doing so in advance of the publication of his new book The Vanishing Face of Gaia. In discussing his current ideas, James Lovelock said we should focus on saving humanity and leave the planet, which will find a new equilibrium, to look after itself.

James Lovelock is just one of an impressive and at times controversial group of visiting teachers who teach on the MSc in Holistic Science at Schumacher College. Others include Henri Bortoft (Physicist), Rupert Sheldrake (Biologist), Bernadette Brady (Astrologer) and Lynn Margulis (Biologist) along side Stephan Harding (Course Co-ordinator and author of Animate Earth: Science, Intuition and Gaia).

The MSc in Holistic Science (accredited by the University of Plymouth) is the only programme of its kind in the world and attracts not only a diverse group of teachers but also students who attend the course from all over the world.

This year, we have students from Taiwan and Kyrygzstan, as well as from the USA, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and from across Europe and the UK. Each year’s intake of MSc students is characterised by their rich cultural diversity, which resonates throughout the College for the duration of the course.

Whilst our MSc students tend to reflect a diversity of age (from 21 to 60) and nationality, they are held in common by a deeply felt bond, founded upon a desire to be an agent for positive change in the world. The students care passionately about sustainability and all that living sustainably engenders. They study the MSc in Holistic Science because they want to utilise the gifts of holistic science in order to offer up their contribution to help the world transition to a fairer, healthier and more resilient one, rooted in nature.

If you share a passion for science and sustainability, and are open to challenging ideas, why not consider studying with us?
