Welcome
I am delighted to welcome all of you to the 2019-20 Continuing Education
prospectus. For returning students, or those of you who are new to CE,
I am confident that you will find a course or event that suits your needs.
We have an assortment of fascinating opportunities, both accredited and
non-accredited, all taught by expert tutors who will guide you through
and ensure that your time with CE is an enjoyable experience. We want to
encourage you all to come and learn with the original red-brick university,
and so there are no entry qualifications to worry about!
As usual our programme covers a diverse range of subjects and themes
that will bring you the latest research from our world leading University.
With a flexible timetable of day-time and evening courses, including the
welcome return of our popular CE Saturday courses, you can choose to
study at your own pace. Accreditation – where offered – is entirely your
choice. So no pressure at all!
This year we present a thought-provoking and challenging selection of
courses that explore a number of themes and developments in subjects
as diverse as Artificial Intelligence, Roman Pottery, Film Noir, Machiavelli
and Georgian Liverpool! You can choose to learn for enjoyment, develop
new skills, or you may want to learn a new language – our programme
showcases the breadth of research at the University of Liverpool with
representation across the arts, science and public health.
So whether you want to learn about a subject that is close to your heart, or
you want to enhance your personal and professional skills, with over 200
individual courses our programme is the perfect starting place for those of
you who are looking for something extra in the coming year.
Finally, CE will be popping-up further events and activities throughout
the year, so the best place to keep up to date with developments and
opportunities is by signing up to our mailing list via our website:

Credits are awarded for the successful completion
of work to a set standard. Assessment can take
many forms and will be appropriate to the subject
and course that you are studying. It can include,
for example, the completion of classroom activity,
the preparation of a portfolio of materials and/or
a written assignment. For language courses the
assessment process includes taking a short test
under exam conditions.
Preparing for assessment can be intellectually
stimulating and pleasurable. Exploring and
researching new ideas helps to deepen your
understanding. You will also develop skills in
academic writing and research methods and
practices. Studying for credit means not only
attending classes but studying in your own time and
submitting work for assessment.
The credits gained could be useful to you in
different ways. You could study for credit as
a prelude to further study, for example on an
undergraduate degree programme. You could use
it to show an employer that you are capable of,
and have successfully undertaken, university-level
work. Until 2021, you could work towards our 60
or 120-credit certificates that are formal awards

as well, such as the three-part course that will re-trace

More in a Day!, which will introduce you to various sites that help explain what this form of
pictorial communication meant. Ancient languages may be considered “dead languages”,
but they still have the power to connect us to histories, religions and personal heritage,
and this year we are offering more than ever.
Continuing Education is fortunate to have a close relationship with the University’s
prestigious Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, and many of our courses
are taught by graduates or staff of the University. Making international news with his recent
discoveries in Egypt, Senior Lecturer Dr Roland Enmarch will give a talk this autumn, just
after returning from his latest research expedition in Egypt. We are also interested in
archaeological studies closer to home, such as prehistoric monuments in North Wales and
a look at more recent local history to see the traces of the American Civil War remaining in
Liverpool. You also have the chance to develop the kind of archaeological drawing skills
employed by professionals and amateurs alike - this new drawing course is based on real
artefacts, and like so many of our courses, takes advantage of the wealth of resources that
the University of Liverpool holds.
All courses at the University of Liverpool unless stated.

approach to understanding how and why art works were
made and what they meant to their original audiences,
in ancient and modern societies, and how they continue
to be reinterpreted today. At Continuing Education, you
can learn, for instance, about the different ways sexuality
and nudity have been depicted through the years and
who patronised the artists and their works, be it Hadrian
in ancient Rome, Renaissance cardinals, or Lord Lever in
the early 20th century.
As always, we devote a lot of attention to Liverpool and
its considerable history as a wealthy supporter of the
arts; its important public collections; and its historically-
significant and award-winning architecture. The story
of the Titanic has a special place in Liverpool’s history,
and this year we are offering a new course that brings
together all the many art forms that this shipwreck has
inspired, including paintings, films, theatre and music.
If you like seeing and discussing art in person, then
join the University staff and independent curators and
researchers of Beyond the Label: Alternative Gallery and Museum Tours to learn about
some hidden histories of familiar and not-so-familiar works, each week at a different
site in Liverpool. We expect this course, and all of the others, to give new insights on
art and its history. And maybe even change some minds!
