About
The Faculty of Astrological Studies is the UK's best-established astrology school, founded in 1948 and known for awarding the DFAstrolS diploma, a qualification recognized worldwide. It describes itself as the gold standard in astrological education, and its structure is that of a proper teaching institution: a Foundation Course leading to a three-year Diploma program, taught by a highly experienced tutor team through online classes, London classes, distance learning by email, and practice modules.
The Faculty's calendar extends beyond coursework. It runs a Summer School, an annual Faculty Day (the 2026 edition is set for London), a spring Astrology Retreat, an astrology library for students, online seminars and workshops, and themed events such as Alchemy, Mystery and Magic in Prague in 2026. It also teaches tarot and astrology classes, publishes through the Faculty press, and supports research through the Charles Harvey Research Fund.
Students can enroll each term with online classes and London classes starting in January and distance learning open all year, and the Faculty maintains a consult-an-astrologer referral service connecting clients with qualified graduates. The institution's stated mission: The gold standard in astrological education from a leading non-profit organisation.
