1BF,
Welcome to Lifelong Learning at the University of Southampton. We deliver the
University's community learning programme, which offers a range of opportunities
for adult learners to enhance their skills and broaden their knowledge in a
range of subject areas. From languages to creative writing and from archaeology
to quantum computing you can choose from a diverse range of courses which run
throughout our academic year (October to July). Our courses normally run on a
weekly basis during the evenings and can be from 6 to 30 weeks in length. In
addition to our evening courses we also run a series of themed Study Days. These
events generally take place on Saturdays or Sundays and consist of a half or
full day of academic lectures delivered by staff or postgraduate students.
Examples of past topics are: Jane Austen, 1066, Lawrence of Arabia, the
Archaeology of Southampton, Castles, Women and British Film, Stonehenge and Old
Sarum. Lifelong Learning is based at our Avenue Campus and most of our courses
and events take place at this campus where there is plenty of parking and it is
on the U2 bus route and Avenue cycle route. When you study with us you will have
access to a full range of learning resources through the University libraries
and online. You will receive a student card and email address which will enable
you to benefit from a wide variety of discounts and student offers. So whether
you are looking to study for personal enjoyment, develop your career or wish to
take the next step towards higher education take a look at our Lifelong Learning
programme and join our vibrant lifelong learning community.
