University message about the Centre for Lifelong Learning
It is with profound sadness that the University announces the closure of the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of York. This decision has been an incredibly hard one, made in response to the challenging financial climate currently facing the higher education sector. Read our statement that explains more.
All teaching activity for the current term will continue as planned, including June Saturday Schools.
Studying for Undergraduate Credit - Certificates
The Centre for Lifelong Learning offers you the opportunity to study for credit at a higher education level, leading to the award of a Certificate of Higher Education in Lifelong Learning.
The higher certificates are equivalent in standard and workload to the full first year of an undergraduate degree programme, and are worth 120 credits at stage 1. Modules which carry accreditation carry a credit value of either 10 or 20 credits. These can be ‘picked and mixed’ and saved up over a number of years, and you will be offered help and advice as you progress through the programme. 60 credit milestone awards in Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities can also be awarded.
Please consult the appropriate diagram below or contact the Centre to discuss how you can build towards one of the certificate awards.

Within the Arts and Humanities certificate, it is possible to choose specific modules in order to achieve a 120-credit Certificate of Higher Education in Lifelong Learning (Archaeology).
