Courses

We know that many adult students are nervous about returning to study and are uncertain about where they should begin. We offer a range of programmes at different levels, in a number of different subjects. The levels range from level 1 - equivalent to some GCSE grades (Short Courses), up to level 5 - postgraduate degrees.  By offering courses at different levels we hope students can start and finish at the level that suits them.

My time at Ruskin has been both stimulating and rewarding. I have found the return to education inspiring to say the least.

Since starting this course I have been able to put into practice theory about how groups work and the teaching of neighbourhood renewal and fund raising has all been relevant to my job.

As soon as I started my CertHE History course I knew I was involved in something different to anything I had experienced previously at school. The course was challenging me to think, see, react and express myself in new and often unfamiliar ways.
