Courses

Are there any entymology (not sure if that's spelt right i thought it was entomology but i'm being told i'm wrong) courses? I'm getting really into reasearching and learning about diff insects latley (even slugs!?) and wondered if anywhere did courses? And if so does anyone know where? Any info would be great

It's quite expensive though i believe. I looked into it before and it's expensive. I'd like to do it from home.

depends what kind of course you're looking at, the only 1s i know of are like, masters degrees or whatever.a good idea is just to do your own studies at home, buy loads of books, they cn be found pretty easy.

It's just general intrest in insects. I've been trying to find out what kind of insects could live in an ecosystem together, was thinking of things like roaches, millipedes and beetles but then i thought of doing one with insects from my garden, things like earthworms, slugs, ground beetles and whatever else i could find and planting it up with same plants that i have in garden. Becky can you remember where you found that did them? I've got a few books but will look on ebay for more.

The only entomology course I know is at masters level. There is a pure entomology course at London imperial, and a few other courses (eg pest control and agroecology courses) also offered at masters level at various unis.

I have no idea about entomology courses offered at anything below masters - I personally havent seen any, but I havent really looked for them as i'm already doing a BSc. There is a huge jump up from having an interest to studying entomology as a science.
