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

as well, such as the three-part course that will re-trace
Victorian explorers’ travels up and down the Nile. Or you can study Hieroglyphs and
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!

The Victoria Gallery
& Museum
Experience the splendour of the Victoria Building, from which the term ‘red brick university’
was coined. Feed your curiosity with the eclectic displays of objects from the University of
Liverpool’s long 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 spectacular Tate Hall Museum, the University’s very first library,
don’t forget to 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.

no different. All our courses are taught by enthusiastic
subject specialists, who bring intellectual rigour and
inspiring literature to a congenial and friendly learning
environment.
From European Literature, to Shakespeare, 21st Century
Women Writers, and the literature of the Spanish Civil
War, which ended eighty years ago this year, the 2019-
20 programme is full of varied, and exciting reading.
For those looking for immersion in the work of a single
author, there are courses on Jane Austen, Kenneth
Grahame, Charles Dickens, Seamus Heaney, Flannery
O’Connor, and Daphne Du Maurier. If you would prefer
to concentrate on a single book, choices range from
Flaubert’s Parrot, to Anna Karenina. For fans of crime
fiction and film, there is a course titled “Sherlock,” and
another on Film Noir.
In Creative Writing the choice is similarly wide, with courses on prose, poetry, and
specialist writing for radio, and for children. Our writing tutors are all published authors,
professional writers, and editors. Whether you are writing your first novel, or your fifth,
or prefer to read and study great writing rather than create it, you will benefit from
becoming part of our community of creative writers and readers.

Short courses, lectures and events in the area of
Modern
Languages
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 April 2020. Please follow the Studying a Language link on
the CE homepage for details.

history of music, or you simply want to learn a little bit
more about a genre that you enjoy, our programme
of short courses and workshops is the perfect starting
place.
Our practical guitar and keyboard courses are perfect for both beginners and those
who wish to develop their skills further, and for those with more interest in music and
technology we have an Introduction to Music Making on Computers, and in the studio,
an Introduction to Music Recording as well as a two day workshop Introduction to Live
Sound Engineering. We also have the return of our very popular course exploring the
fundamentals of song writing, so book early.
If you prefer to learn more about music history, then Dr Ian Sharp explores the
relationship between composers and patronage in October, and looks at the music
of Vienna in January. New to the programme is Patrick Dineen, who introduces his
innovative project based courses under the title, Invisible City, beginning with Part A in
October. Patrick will guide students through this ambitious project in creating a unique
musical score and soundscape of Liverpool, using field recordings, audio manipulation,
processing and sampling.
So, why not indulge your creative nature this year? This is an engaging programme of
stimulating practical, and theoretical courses that offers variety and flexibility. We look
forward to welcoming you!

Science is a process of discovery and through our carefully
chosen workshops and short courses we invite you to
discover science for yourself.
With Bhavik Mehta we analyse the science, politics and challenges of climate change and
what the future holds for us if we don’t moderate and adapt. Paul Dearden returns with his
ever popular courses on Astronomy – perfect for absolute beginners and those with some
knowledge, and Hazel Clark once more examines our geology and how it can lead to
natural disasters. Our expert tutors bring you cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence,
nanotechnology and the social repercussions of increased connectivity through the
internet of things!
New for this year Dr Jennifer Brown brings a local focus to a global phenomenon – utilising
current research at Crosby, students are invited to examine the impact of coastal flooding.
Our programme is ideal for those of you wishing to further your scientific inquisitiveness,
or those of you looking for objective clarification of modern issues. The programme
has evening courses that can fit around full-time work or education and one-off talks
