Whether it’s criminology or chemistry, or learning about how to sleep better, Swansea University will be offering courses that are free and available to all, as part of Adult Learners’ Week, which takes place between 9 and 15 September.
Adult Learners’ Week is the biggest celebration of lifelong learning in Wales, with over 10,000 adults taking part each year. The campaign is coordinated by the Learning and Work Institute in partnership with the Welsh Government and other partners.
The campaign aims to inspire more people to discover a passion for learning and develop skills for work and throughout life. Adult Learners’ Week will signpost hundreds of courses, events, tasters, open days, and learning resources that are free and accessible to all.
Swansea University is playing its part in Adult Learners’ Week. On offer from the University are options such as:
- Sleeping Well – a five-week course with two-hour sessions
- Taster lectures in finance, business, marketing or tourism
- Chemistry – making the transition from A-level to degree
- Introductions to areas such as criminology, engineering and anatomy
- Fundamentals of Cybersecurity, and the History and Impact of Computing, offered by the Technocamps team, based at Swansea University
The Learning and Work Institute is an independent policy, research and development organisation dedicated to lifelong learning, full employment and inclusion. They have worked closely with a wide range of partners and stakeholders for over 25 years to support the delivery of Adult Learners’ Week in Wales.
Claudia Mollzahn, Adult Outreach and Engagement Officer at Swansea University, said:
“Adult learning can broaden horizons, build your networks, and open doors. It’s your chance to make a fresh start and embrace a second chance.
Perhaps you are looking for a new direction, to boost your confidence, brush up on your skills, improve your job opportunities, seek some advice and guidance on a qualification, or you may simply want to learn something new and meet likeminded people. Whatever the reason, Adult Learners’ Week is for you”.
Adult Learners’ Week is free and available to everyone.
