The Centre for Lifelong Learning offers an exciting range of postgraduate distance learning courses, as well as options for local learners who are looking for an accredited course or to study for pleasure.
2021/22 Programme Update
Lifelong Learning staff remain working from home, and we do not yet have a firm date to return to the office.
For the summer 2022 term, we will now be offering a mix of course modes:
We have now released the details for our Accredited Modules, Learning for Pleasure Courses, and our Saturday Courses. All course information is available online through this website, and we would encourage you to register at your earliest convenience as many courses sell out quickly.
Students signing up to work towards a Certficate of Higher Education should bear in mind that for future terms they may need to attend courses in York, in person.
Again, we thank all our learners for their support during these challenging times, and we will continue to keep you updated about the programme over the course of the current academic year.
Current Programme
We are unable to produce and distribute a paper brochure for the current academic year - details about our courses are now online via this website.
