Overview

Welcome to the University of Oxford's new programme of evening courses in Reading. Oxford University has been providing opportunities for adults to take short, part-time courses for well over one hundred years. We are very pleased to be able to offer a full programme of evening classes in Reading, and we much appreciate the co-operation of the University of Reading in enabling us to do this on its Whiteknights campus (click for map showing free parking).

These part-time classes are open to all and enable students to follow a chosen interest in greater depth over a period of 10 or 20 weeks. They are accredited at FHEQ Level 4 and coursework is an integral part of each syllabus.

You will find details below of some 80 evening classes on offer in the coming academic year 2011-2012, as well as information about enrolling.
