We recently set up a new MPhil and PhD in Volcanology program at the Seismic Research Unit, UWI, Trinidad, W.I. Areas of research include physical volcanology and volcano geophysics. Field area is the Eastern Caribbean. Students will have to follow some courses at UWI to fulfill the requirements for credits. Along the line, we will offers courses in volcanology and seismology at SRU. In house training is available in volcano monitoring and students are expected to participate to monitoring activities of SRU. This program is open to students from all nationalities although primarily targeted toward students from UWI contributing countries in the Eastern Caribbean (find the list here) who can benefit from reduced tuition fees.
