Welcome to Choices! Our part-time courses for adults.
CHOICES is Cardiff University’s programme of part-time courses for the general public. It includes a wide range of subjects at a variety of levels from absolute beginners to expert, depending on the topic. All our courses are part-time and most are open to anyone without prior qualifications. Every year more than 4,000 people, from all walks of life and of all ages, study with us.
Courses are held during the day or evening and many are at weekends. You don’t need lots of qualifications to study with Cardiff University’s Centre for Lifelong Learning, just an interest in a subject and a willingness to explore it in the company of others. Whether you’re studying with us for personal development, to enhance your career prospects, or to increase your knowledge you can expect to be stimulated and challenged.
