Welcome to Continuing Education

Once again, we are thrilled to launch our new Continuing Education prospectus for the coming academic year. We look forward to welcoming back many of you who studied with us last year, and to meeting the new faces joining our community of lifelong learners for the first time in 2012-13.
It is always gratifying to see people from all kinds of backgrounds taking advantage of what Continuing Education can offer. Some of you may not have studied for some years and may be considering our prospectus with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. But dont worry - those who take the plunge soon realise what they have been missing and return again and again. Working or retired, young or more mature, with qualifications or without, youll soon feel very much at home with us. This year we are pleased to announce the launch of our expanded Business Studies programme. Whether you are studying for professional or commercial reasons, to achieve a Certificate in Higher Education, or simply for pleasure, you will find something here to inspire you. There is so much to choose from - why not Make Mondays History or try a little Friday Poetry? Or join one of our relaxed community literature courses? Or hone your own creative writing skills for radio or television? Or perhaps you could rediscover your voice with Singing for Fun, or take a more academic look at Music, Culture and Society? Our ever popular Archaeology programme is back too with lectures to fascinate and educate, plus we have an innovative collection of Art History courses with links to local galleries, and have added Arabic to the huge selection of language courses. Although many of our day and evening courses take place at the University, courses also run at venues across Merseyside, thanks to our partnership with museums and galleries, colleges in Cheshire and Southport, and local libraries. We also have a busy programme at the Universitys Ness Botanic Gardens. Whatever subject you ultimately decide upon, we promise a warm welcome, an inspiring learning opportunity, and a chance to make new friends.
Enrolment
All enrolments should be made to the Continuing Education office. How to enrol You can enrol by telephone with a debit or credit card, by post, or by visiting our reception in 126 Mount Pleasant. Please note: due to recent financial legislation we are no longer permitted to accept payment by credit/debit cards sent through the post. Whatever method you choose, you must complete the enrolment form in the centre pages of this prospectus or download a copy from our website. We cannot register you on a course unless the enrolment form is completed in full and signed and the appropriate fee has been paid. Cheques should be made payable to The University of Liverpool. If enrolling by telephone, you may find it useful to have a completed form to hand so that we can take all the necessary information from you. Payment can be made either by credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or by debit card. We will always aim to acknowledge receipt of your enrolment, although there may be a delay during busy periods. If a course is full or has to be cancelled, we will try to inform you as quickly as possible. Fees Fees are detailed in each course entry and the following concessions are offered: If you are in receipt of state retirement pension, are a full-time student or a member of staff, you may pay the second fee. You can also pay the second fee if you are in receipt of any of the following (or are an unwaged dependent of someone who receives any of the following): Jobseekers Allowance Working Tax Credit Income Support Housing Benefit State Pensions Credit Employment Support Allowance IR (Income Related)
Proof of entitlement to a concession will be requested each time you enrol. Please contact us if you are unsure whether or not you qualify for a concession. An enrolment closing date is listed on each course, and a decision on the viability of the course will be made on this date. It is therefore important that we receive your enrolment application by this point. While enrolments made after this date will be accepted, courses which do not recruit a minimum number of students by the enrolment closing date will be cancelled and those registered will receive a full refund. No new enrolments will be accepted on a course after the third meeting.
Student card If you are studying for credit and require a student card, which entitles you to use the University library and certain other facilities, you should bring (or post) a passport-sized photo with your name and course code printed on the reverse to the Continuing Education reception. Cards will only be issued once the course is established and are valid for the duration of the course plus any additional assignment submission time. Personal information In order to enrol you must complete a Student Enrolment and Registration form, which can be found in the centre pages of this prospectus. The form requests information which is covered by the Data Protection Act and which the University is required to collect by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) as a condition of funding. This information includes your date of birth, which is required by the funding body, but which also acts as a unique personal identifier on the Universitys student database to ensure that your details are correct. The form also requests information required for equal opportunities monitoring. The Continuing Education team will use your name and address only to provide you with information about courses we believe may be of interest, therefore it is helpful if you could let us know if you change your details. If you do not wish to receive any future mailings from us, please advise us and we will remove you from the database. Refund policy If we have to cancel a course because of low enrolment, a full refund will be given to those students who have pre-enrolled. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course before the enrolment closing date, an application for a refund must be made in writing. Any refund given will be subject to an administrative charge of 5. After the enrolment closing date, no refund will be given unless we are able to fill the place.
Other useful information

Who can join? We invite anyone over the age of 16 to apply to our courses. Generally there are no academic requirements and no examinations; all we ask is that you have a genuine interest in studying the subject. In order to gain credit there will be assignments to complete. A syllabus is available on request for accredited courses which details the learning outcomes and assessment methods.

Academic Organiser Dr Glenn Godenho, Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology The University of Liverpool has pioneered the study of the Ancient World since 1881, and the Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology is now home to 40 staff and more than 400 students. Of these, we have more than 100 postgraduates working on over 15 research projects worldwide. Thanks to the broad range of academic experience of these staff and postgraduate students, we are able to continue to bring you a lively programme of diverse Continuing Education courses. Most of our courses require no prior experience and those that do are clearly indicated. This year you can study languages from Hebrew to Hieroglyphs, or access ancient cultures from an archaeological perspective with our Archaeology, Classics, Egyptology or Biblical ancient culture courses. With one of our most ambitious programmes to date, we are sure that there will be a course for you.
The Objects and Images: Material Culture of the Americas lectures will take place on Thursdays, 6.308.30pm at the University of Liverpool. Individual lectures cost 8, however if you choose to attend all six the cost is 45. Material culture is a broad subject, defined in different ways by different scholars. The aim of this series of lectures is to examine some of the tangible things crafted, shaped, altered and used across space and time by the indigenous peoples of North, Meso and South America. We will study, through material culture, the beliefs, ideas, attitudes and assumptions of a particular society in order to explore some of the ideas behind them.
NATIVE NORTH AMERICAN BASKETRY Thursday 18 Oct by Wendy Whitby Enrolment closing date Monday 8 Oct. Highly accomplished basketry was a central feature of everyday life for many indigenous people in North America.

Beads, often traditionally manufactured from shell, were extensively used as a form of currency by indigenous people in North America. We will explore how shell and other beads were used and the key role that glass beads played in indigenous life during the colonial period. 15760 THE ART OF THE MOCHE
Lecture series
We will be running three individual lecture series: Objects and Images: Material Culture of the Americas, From Labyrinth to Lion Gate: Palaces in the Age of Heroes and Bronze and Iron Age Britain. All involve six independent two-hour sessions exploring different themes each week. Students can attend all six sessions or choose lectures of interest.

Bronze and Iron Age Britain lectures will take place on Thursdays, 6.308.30pm at the University of Liverpool. Individual lectures cost 8, however if you choose to attend all six the cost is 45. From the emergence of the elites in the Early Bronze Age to the development of urban sites in the Late Iron Age, this course will give you an introduction to the British Bronze and Iron Ages (c.2500BC-AD43). We will consider the surviving remains to highlight issues relating to their interpretation. In particular we will focus on specific periods and context-specific themes, and theoretical perspectives relating to current debates in later British prehistory.
THE BEAKER AND WESSEX PERIODS Thursday 7 Feb by Jonathan Trigg Enrolment closing date Monday 28 Jan. The Early Bronze Age ritual and funerary monuments have traditionally been central to the construction of a social perspective of Early Bronze Age Britain. Exotic materials such as gold, amber, bronze and faience, which were made into fine objects and placed in graves, together with the construction of round barrows and monuments, will enable us to see how such practices underpinned the power of a developing elite in Britain. 17616 THE DEVEREL-RIMBURY COMPLEX Thursday 14 Feb by Jonathan Trigg Enrolment closing date Monday 4 Feb. With the Deveral-Rimbury Complex, we have, for the first time in British prehistory, a related database of settlements, field systems and cemetery sites. We will see how, collectively, this offers fulsome potential for the reconstruction of society in terms of gender, social organisation, communal traditions, patterns of site formation and funerary traditions. 17622
METALWORK AND ITS DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION AND DISPOSAL Thursday 21 Feb by Jonathan Trigg Enrolment closing date Monday 11 Feb. Metalwork is the key tool for dating sites and events. We will outline the basics of Bronze Age metal typology and the premises of these chronologies. We will also consider the problems of isolating metalwork from its social context and the need to consider the phenomenology of object use. The restricted number of source areas for the raw materials of bronze production, together with the complexities of metal making and metalwork production, provide potential for diverse contexts and scales of production. 17623 HILLFORTS Thursday 28 Feb by Jonathan Trigg Enrolment closing date Monday 18 Feb. Hillforts are Britains largest prehistoric monuments. They are icons of the pre-Roman Iron Age, although it is now clear that a large number of them date from the Late Bronze Age. The premises of hillfort excavations and the changing interpretations of hillforts have reflected the changing theoretical perspectives of studies of British prehistory. Despite a militaristic interpretation, more recently developed hillforts have been considered as centres of production, exchange and settlement. We will consider the development of hillfort studies, as well as the possible roles and uses of British hillforts. 17624
HOUSES Thursday 7 Mar by Jonathan Trigg Enrolment closing date Monday 25 Feb. This lecture examines the diversity of prehistoric houses, including the materials and methods used in construction, and will also examine what houses can tell us about social relations and communities in the past. 17625 FIELD SYSTEMS Thursday 14 Mar by Jonathan Trigg Enrolment closing date Monday 4 Mar. The Middle Bronze Age (c.1800-1200BC) is the final period of intensive (shortfallow) agriculture in Britain (Barrett, 1994). The relationship between this and preceding traditions will be considered in terms of social organisations, land boundaries, ritual and ideology. Different regional Bronze Ages will be considered, such as those of south west Britain (Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor etc) to form a contrast with those of the more intensively studied central south Britain (such as Deveral-Rimbury, which will be considered in lecture two). 17626

CLASSICAL GREECE: THE KEYSTONE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION The classical period of Greece is often thought of as the birthplace of modern culture; a developmental melting pot for political, artistic and philosophical thought which had its heart in Athens, home to the Acropolis one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world. This session will examine the archaeology of Athens, alongside that from other city states, during a period which saw war with Sparta and the expansion of the Greek world during the campaigns of Phillip II and his son, Alexander the Great. HELLENISTIC AND ROMAN GREECE FROM THE DEATH OF ALEXANDER TO GRAECIA CAPTA The Hellenistic Period represents a cosmopolitan Golden Age when, against a backdrop of conflict, trade, and cross-cultural interaction, Greek ideals and language spread across the Mediterranean world, leading to new developments in art, architecture and social behaviour. Many of these developments laid the groundwork for Roman rule following the Battle of Corinth in 146 BC. Often overlooked, Roman rule saw a combination of Greek and Roman culture and the creation of monuments across Greece (including construction on the Athenian Acropolis and in the Agora below it) as the interests of Rome became the interests of Athens.

Lectures will take place on Monday 6.30-9pm starting from Monday 5 Nov. and will be led by David Smith, Stephen OBrien and Helen Murphy. 53/35 5 credits THE COLLAPSE OF THE MYCENAEN PALACES AND THE END OF THE BRONZE AGE The Late Bronze Age in Greece represents a peak of prehistoric culture which was characterised by huge palaces, with the Mycenaeans controlling vast territories and managing their own economies. It was a place of weapons and warfare, seafaring and long-distance trade, and belief in gods and monsters, but it was also a place filled with people going about their daily lives on a much smaller scale. This session will examine the archaeology of Late Bronze Age Greece and examine how (and why) palace society eventually collapsed.
THE GEOMETRIC PERIOD AND THE MYTH OF THE GREEK DARK AGE The Geometric Period (from c.1050 BC) was once considered a cultural Dark Age; the truth, however, is far more complicated. This session will look at how people emerged from such a strong Mycenaean heritage to adapt to a changing Iron Age world, how and why some things remained the same when all else changed, and the beginnings of a transition from Palace to the Polis (city-state) society which would come to characterise later periods. THE ARCHAIC GREEK WORLD: LAWMAKERS, OLYMPIANS AND PERSIANS The Archaic period saw the foundation of the Olympic Games and heralded the beginning of Greek colonisation overseas to Italy, Spain, the Black Sea, the Levant and Egypt. This session will examine the archaeology of this period of cultural quickening which saw the development of new ways of living and dying, the reign of tyrants at Athens, the rise of important and powerful centres like Sparta, and war between Greece and Persia.

In this talk, Professor Charles Esdaile re-examines the subject, and suggests that one march on Moscow cost the emperor far more than any number of marches on Madrid. 17618 THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE ATOMIC BOMB IN BRITAIN, 1945-2012 Monday 11 Mar by Dr Jon Hogg Enrolment closing date Friday 1 Mar.

Kurt Tong: The Queen, the Chairman and I 20 May 7 September 2013 Supported by the Liverpool Confucius Institute
As part of Look13 Liverpool International Photography Festival, the Victoria Gallery & Museum presents The Queen, the Chairman and I, a new body of work by Kurt Tong that explores his heritage through new photographs, historical family photographs and writing. Visitors will be able to share their own family stories at a Chinese tea house within the exhibition. Originally created as a visual storybook to share his roots with his daughters, Tong considers questions of individuality, identity, nationality, and country. His father's grandfather was a deckhand who came to Hong Kong from Shanghai after the fall of the Empire in 1911, while his mother's family were landlords in Southern China. Tong was born in Hong Kong, but has spent two thirds of his life in England. Growing up between three different cultures he asked himself: How Chinese am I, or indeed, who am I? Tong trained as a health visitor at the University of Liverpool, but became a full-time photographer in 2003, and has since won the Luis Valtuena International Humanitarian Photography Award and the Jerwood Photography Award. Tong is collecting family stories and photographs. Share yours at: www.blankfamilyalbum.com

Adult learning programmes at the Victoria Gallery & Museum The Victoria Gallery & Museum (VG&M) provides a range of adult learning opportunities linked to the art and heritage collections and temporary exhibitions, including talks, tours and workshops. The volunteer team offers regular drop-in tours and can also accommodate pre-booked groups. Monthly Caf Crafternoons run by local artists introduce participants to a range of crafts. Previous sessions have included quilling, weaving, origami and bookbinding. Conservators, curators, artists, tutors and volunteers all contribute to create a diverse learning programme with a wide appeal. THE VICTORIA BUILDING The Grade II-listed Victoria Building designed by Alfred Waterhouse has been a central part of University life for more than 100 years. Opened in 1892 as the Universitys flagship building, its impressive faade led to the coining of the term red brick university. In 2008, Liverpools Capital of Culture year, the Victoria Building re-opened as the Victoria Gallery & Museum, following a 8.6million refurbishment. Items from the Universitys art collection are displayed in the galleries, and the Tate Hall Museum showcases an extensive range of heritage objects collected by University departments, many of which are on display for the first time.
ART GALLERY Spanning the 16th to 21st centuries, the Universitys art collection comprises more than 6,500 items of fine art, sculpture, furniture, ceramics, glass and silverware, including works by JMW Turner, Joseph Wright of Derby, Jacob Epstein, Elizabeth Frink, Lucian Freud and the American wildlife artist, John James Audubon. There is a varied temporary exhibition programme scheduled throughout the year. Often featuring work from outside of the Universitys collection, previous exhibitions have included seminal photographs of the Beatles by Astrid Kirchherr and watercolour views of the Holy Land by Caroline Gray-Hill. TATE HALL MUSEUM A large Gothic style hall, the Tate Hall Museum showcases material from the Universitys heritage collections. Highlighting the excitement of academic discovery and the history of teaching, the collection includes objects relating to innovation and research in areas such as dentistry, archaeology, zoology and engineering. Exhibits include animal skeletons from the early 1900s, a recreation of a late 19th century dental surgery, and a major display focussing on the ancient civilisation, the Hittites.
JOHN HAMILTON LECTURE 2012
This years John Hamilton lecture is by Steven Rose, Emeritus Professor of Biology at the Open University.
become a person
Being human:
Humans are 98% genetically identical to chimpanzees, but no-one would mistake a human for a chimp. The difference lies in how we humans use these genes during our development. Development is a process of being and becoming (autopoiesis, or self-creation), of constantly transforming ourselves throughout our lives. This lifelong learning becomes inscribed into our bodies, brains and minds. Wednesday 31 October from 5.30pm Jack Leggate theatre, Victoria Gallery & Museum To register for this lecture please call 0151 794 1199 or email hamiltonlectures@liv.ac.uk www.liverpool.ac.uk/cll/johnhamiltonlectures

University credit through part-time study ACTIVE LEARNING We expect our courses to be an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding experience for you. Courses aim to create active learning environments in which each student has the opportunity to engage in their own learning, guided and supported by their lecturer. Each course has defined learning outcomes and the assessment of your progress in attaining these is seen as a normal part of the course objectives. Achievement of the learning outcomes is recognised and recorded by the award of credit, the value of which is specified in the individual course details. Credit can be accumulated by attending a succession of courses and can be presented for a formal university award or used to progress further within an appropriate degree programme. It also records a level of achievement for your own personal satisfaction and can be used as evidence of personal development in your work situation. ASSESS YOUR LEARNING Assessment is good practice in the learning environment and for the Continuing Education programme it is continuous, as the lecturer monitors the understanding of the students as the student applies the outcomes of their learning. Assessment contributes to the success of the course as the student explores their developing skills within the academic content of the course structure. Assessment of your learning undoubtedly means that you will gain more from the course. It is expected that, where appropriate, students will assess their learning and thereby earn credit from attending their course.
HOW IS LEARNING ASSESSED? Course syllabuses include the aims and objectives for the course, more details about course delivery, and a reading list (if appropriate). These can be accessed via our website at: www.liverpool.ac.uk/conted The process of assessment measures the extent to which you have achieved the learning outcomes defined in this syllabus. Assessment can take many forms and will be appropriate to the subject you are studying. It can include the completion of classroom activity as preparation for discussion at the next meeting, the preparation of a portfolio of materials and/or a written assignment that relates to a particular aspect of the course. Whatever form assessment takes, you will be guided by your lecturer as to what is expected, given a clear timescale for its completion, and will receive feedback when the assignment is returned to you. It is therefore seen as an essential component of learning within the course framework. Once the marks have been officially confirmed, you will receive an individual course credit certificate which recognises your achievement. For students who complete a course without credit, a Certificate of Attendance is available on request. WHAT NEXT? We recognise that many students enrol with specific interest in the content of one particular course, however we hope that the interest excited by attending that course, and the success achieved through assessing learning outcomes and gaining credit, will encourage the individual to go further. Initially the question may be simply: Which course shall I take next in order to develop the interests I have gained from my first course? We can provide advice and guidance to help you make an informed choice. And, as credits from successive courses begin to accumulate and your expectations rise, the question may then become: What can I do with my accumulating credit points?
At 60 credits you can apply for a Certificate of Achievement in Continuing Education. Whilst this is not a formal award of the University, it is an important recognition of achievement at a university-level of study and in the personal development of the individual. At 120 credits you can apply for the University award of a Certificate in Higher Education (Cert. HE). If the credits have been gained across a range of subjects, the award will be a general Cert. HE (unnamed subject areas). If the credits are from a series of specified courses within one subject area, the Certificate will be in a named subject (e.g. Creative Writing, Historical Studies or Music). IMPORTANT INFORMATION If you wish to count your credit towards a university award, you will need to be aware that you cannot accumulate credit by repeating the same course. The course code number for example, algy 997 identifies each discrete accredited course, for which there are defined learning outcomes. If you have a query about course credits and/or would like a detailed syllabus, please contact a member of the Courses Support team or visit the website at: www.liverpool.ac.uk/conted If you have a query about any aspect of accreditation, you can contact the appropriate member of our Courses Support team (listed right) for advice and guidance. They will be able to give you additional information, including a detailed course syllabus.
