Comments on Gemmology Diploma by Past Students
The Diploma in Gemmology course offered by the University of Moratuwa was a well-structured program focusing on various aspects of Gemmology - from a theoretical and practical perspective. The course coverage, including the identification of gems at the fully-fledged lab, was quite comprehensive and helped a beginner like me to grasp the concepts easily. The lecturers were extremely qualified and knowledgeable and were allocated to us very aptly based on the subjects. In addition, the Field visit & field report, Special study report, and Project reports gave me great exposure to different aspects of Gemmology. Overall, I would highly recommend this course for anyone who is interested in learning Gemmology.
