Every year at York College & University Centre, we welcome a large and diverse cohort of adult learners who study on a wide range of courses, covering various subjects at different levels, from short courses to university-level study.
If you’re looking to retrain to change career, upskill for work or personal development, aiming to progress at work or wanting to start a new hobby, we have a course for you.

Some of our courses may be free for you to study, eligible for a loan or have finance available.

We appreciate that many of our students lead very busy lives and are not always in the position to undertake a full-time course. Our adult course offer has been developed to work flexibly with you and is ideal to study alongside work or other commitments, allowing you to achieve the essential qualification(s) you require, while balancing everyday life.

Our course offering has also been mindful of our students’ ability to progress, with career progression and on to higher-level study. You can find the level of our courses on the individual course pages.

We also have a dedicated Learning Support Team for those with additional needs.
