We are pleased to announce that we are still accepting registrations for this
course. The final deadline for enrolment is 29/11/99.

This new Advanced Certificate course proposes to offer training in powder
diffraction, one of the major techniques for solid-state materials research.
It will concentrate on providing the necessary crystallographic and
computational skills required for an understanding and usage of powder
diffraction. This new course is delivered via the Internet and makes use of
innovative technologies for distance learning. The course is ideally suited
for students new to solid-state chemistry/physics and material science.
