Life Long Learning at Bucks

Bucks offers a range of opportunities for lifelong learning and personal development that can enhance your professional career, but also provide personal enrichment.

Separate modules in Combined Studies are an excellent way of furthering your creative or academic skills, without committing yourself to a full or part time degree course. Why not gain degree-level credits alongside others who share similar interests? No prior qualifications are required and you can take one module at a time or several simultaneously. You can mix and match exactly as you want. 

If you want to develop your IT skills, we offer a wide range of short courses to suit your experience or level of confidence. Most last for 10 weeks and are offered several times a year. Learn about software applications such as word processing, digital imaging and computer animation or focus on the programming, computer-aided machining and tool making skills that are so useful in business and technical environments. 

You’ll find that Bucks is also an excellent venue for introductory classes in craft skills such as silversmithing, wood machining, drawing and upholstery. As with many of our short courses, there are easy progression routes on to degree programmes if you want to take your studies further.
