Welcome
Welcome to the 2018-19 Continuing Education prospectus. Whether you
are a regular student or new to CE, we are confident that you will find
something to inspire and excite you. Continuing Education is open to all,
meaning no entrance qualifications are required. Our programme is taught
by friendly and expert staff who will guide you through your studies and
ensure that you have an enjoyable learning experience with us.
We have an exciting range of opportunities for you this coming year.
Alongside our short courses which run throughout the year, we are
delighted to continue our ever-popular Saturday events. These one-day
courses are the perfect way to take a day out to immerse yourself in a
subject with like-minded people.
Our courses and events are carefully selected and designed to bring you
cutting-edge developments in subjects that mean something to you: We
invite you to discuss our region’s history and to experience local art and
architecture. You can join us for your own personal development, and work
with experts to learn a new language, to pick up new skills for your CV, or
to enhance your day to day working life. Perhaps you want to explore your
more creative side, and experiment with poetry, drawing, or music?
We also have programmes that pick up on matters of current global
importance, and help you to find your voice and contribute to issues like
global warming and world politics.
All this is just the tip of the iceberg. As well as a prospectus packed with
ideas for you, we have developed strong links with venues and facilities
across Merseyside and beyond. We look forward to welcoming you into our
community.

The Victoria Gallery
& Museum
Experience the splendour of the Victoria Building – from which the term ‘red brick
university’ was coined. Be amazed by the displays of curiosities from the University
of Liverpool’s history. Highlights include weird and wonderful zoology specimens
and an internationally important collection of dentures made from human teeth
– known as ‘Waterloo Teeth’. Whilst visiting the Tate Hall Museum, look up at the
incredible vaulted ceiling.
There are permanent displays on the history of the building and a gallery dedicated
to John James Audubon, a wildlife artist and naturalist who travelled to Liverpool
in the 1800s to fundraise for the creation of his famous book ‘Birds of America’,
consisting of 435 life-sized lithographs. Other spaces house an ever-changing
programme of temporary exhibitions guaranteeing visitors something new to see
each time they visit.
Adult Learning Programme

We provide a range of adult learning opportunities linked to the permanent
collections on display and the temporary exhibitions, including talks, tours
and workshops. Our volunteer team offer regular drop-in tours and can also
accommodate pre-booked groups. Conservators, curators, artists, tutors and
volunteers all contribute to create a diverse and popular learning programme with a
wide appeal.

Edward Burne-Jones, as well as upcoming shows at
our own Victoria Gallery and Museum. As always, there
will be plenty of gallery visits, including a special trip to

looking back on some of its key moments.
Along with the return of some of our most popular

lecturers and courses, such as Julie Robson’s
Architecture of Liverpool and her ten-week explorations
of modern art, as well as Anna Maddison’s look at
Victorian tastes, we happily introduce you to some new
lecturers and new topics: join Danica Ramsey-Brimberg
for a Saturday of Viking art and lunch; let Barbara Jones

United States in the 20th and 21st century. Michael
Tunnicliffe continues his journey through the history
of church and society as he considers the restoration
of the Church of England and the beginnings of the
Enlightenment from 1660-1820. Dr Paul Smith examines
the relationship between socialism and the former Soviet
Union in the autumn and together with Dr David Lowes,
investigates the lives and work of Marx and Engels.
Or maybe you would like something a bit more

Life: A Philosophical Exploration in October, and Stephen
Kearns debut’s Genetics, Animals and Environmental
Ethics in a fascinating talk in February.
Our programme offers a flexible choice of one-off talks, 5

Learning a foreign language makes you smarter! Studies have found that speaking two or more
languages can enhance memory, make you more perceptive and more understanding of other
cultures. Learning a foreign language is not just a way of enhancing your CV, it is not just a way
of preparing for your holiday – it is a way of meeting new people and discovering new cultures.
Continuing Education offers a range of foreign language courses from complete beginners
to advanced learners. All our teachers have a linguistic background and extensive teaching
experience. Enrolment on our language courses is limited to give every learner a chance to
use the language effectively in class. Regular feedback will assist your individual progress. For
advanced and bilingual learners we offer courses on the literary, cultural or historical context
or on the current affairs of the countries taught entirely in the
target language. If you are studying for credit, there will be a
mixture of assessment methods including coursework and a
short final exam. All our courses incorporate cultural topics
related to the language you are studying.
If your business is looking for language skills development then
we can provide bespoke courses for you that cater to your
specific needs. If you would like further information email us at
conted@liverpool.ac.uk.
CE courses are open to anyone over the age of 16 and
languages are a great way of learning as a family – or
developing skills to support your school-age children.
Language learning is a fun and social learning experience that
is not just related to career development.
If you choose to study a language course for credit please be
aware that the assessment includes a short exam and you must
make yourself available for this on one of a series of dates in
early April 2019. Please follow the Studying a Language link on
the CE homepage for details.

Liverpool Confucius Institute
The Liverpool Confucius Institute is a non-profit collaborative project
between the University of Liverpool and Xi’an Jiaotong University (China),
for the promotion of Chinese language and culture. We work closely
with schools in exposing young people to a language that is increasingly
important in the UK and with local business to provide essential guidance
and knowledge of Chinese culture.
Mandarin Language courses

Through the Continuing Education programme a range of Chinese Mandarin
courses are available for both beginners and advanced speakers in 2018/19.
University of Liverpool (academic) credits are available for stages 1 to 2+ (15
credits for each course). These courses are designed to teach you the basics of
the Chinese language (pinyin, tones and character composition); introductions,
simple conversation, functional conversation and topical conversation. All
Chinese Mandarin courses fees are £234/£199/£117). See page 56 for course
listings.
Bespoke Language courses
We can provide bespoke language courses for your organisation. Working
with our tutors we can design a language and cultural course that can suit
your organisational needs. To discuss your options contact the office at
lci@liverpool.ac.uk.
HSK Chinese Proficiency Test
At the end of each course you will also have the opportunity to take the HSK
Chinese Proficiency Test at the Liverpool Confucius Institute, for which we will
provide free preparatory revision classes.
Chinese Cultural Activities
We offer regular events and cultural activities for staff, students and local
residents, including;
• Chinese calligraphy and ink painting workshops
• Free public lectures on Modern China, as well as history, culture and society
• Free musical performances
• Chinese film evenings
• Conversation exchange events.
Schools
We currently work with a number of local schools to provide Mandarin and
Chinese cultural classes, either as part of school curriculum or as co-curriculum
enrichment.

Microelectronics are the very
small electronic components that
we use in almost all electronic
devices today, including
mobile phones, computers and
televisions. Advances in the
technology allows us to make
things smaller, faster and more
energy efficient. This course
will provide an introduction to
microelectronics covering its
history, prevalence in society,
how microchips work and
are made and the future of
microelectronics.
