• Access to Higher Education course. Only running for about a year, or longer if you want to do it full time, this is a foundation course to get you back into the swing of things and allow you to learn how to study and write when at University. You get to choose from a variety of subjects, including Maths and English but there is Psychology, History, IT all in there as well to whet your academic whistle.

• History. It might seem a bit of cliche but the study of History is one of the most popular course choices. It’s not all a dry date remembering exercise now! The great thing is you can expand the course to ancient history and even pre-history with archaeology.
• Art and Art History. You may have seen the great masters or even some art nouveau but now you can make some yourself and understand the concepts and practices behind the pieces in the gallery.
• Psychology and Counselling. Don’t let all your experience of love, life, and work go to waste. Many retirees find a new career in the world of counselling and citizens’ advice.

You don’t have to choose any of these things. The worlds your oyster!
