Short Courses 2011-2012
Foreword The Centre for Adult Continuing Education is pleased to present a newly augmented range of short courses for the academic year 2011/2012. Our selection was guided by the intention to appeal to a broad range of interests, concerns, and needs. To satisfy such a range, our courses cover a diverse spectrum from Medieval Irish Calligraphy to Spy Fiction, from Bond to Blunt; Understanding Music to Decorative Horticulture; Family and Child Law to Sustainability and Sustainable Development; Supervision in the Helping Professions to India: Past, Present and Future. We hope that from the courses on offer, you will find one, if not more, that either serve to strengthen your knowledge in an area of existing interest or perhaps introduce you to a new area of learning or perhaps facilitate your professional development. Furthermore, these courses showcase the work and interests of the University in a public forum. We would like to thank and acknowledge our many internal and external partners whose participation brings success and energy to our courses. We are by nature curious for the new, be it new information, new opinions or new viewpoints. We trust that participation in a course of study will enable you to think in new ways. More importantly, we wish that your choice of course brings you enjoyment and intellectual reward in an informal and sociable setting. While our courses are non-assessed we see them as a means of engaging you in the rewards of lifelong learning; your participation may be the first step towards committing yourself to a more dedicated programme of education and self discovery in the future. This year again we have broadened our availability in terms of time and location. Besides the usual evening programmes in UCC, courses are now located in many city libraries and the Crawford Art Gallery and the Cork Arts Theatre. We wish you very success and enjoyment on our programmes.
