Celebrating 30 years of the 2+2 degree pathway (1991-2021)
A few words from Course Director for the 2+2 degree pathway...
"The University of Warwick, Centre for Lifelong Learning, is proud to be celebrating 30 years of the 2+2 degree pathway, which takes a holistic and individualised approach to learning within higher education. Highly qualified tutors strive to nurture the personal, professional and academic identities of the students, who are placed at the heart of the teaching and learning experience. As such, the degree programme provides an inclusive and enriching learning space for all.
The Centre is immensely proud to say that thousands of students, who have often overcome personal challenges to achieve their goals, have graduated from The University of Warwick with this degree. The Centre also celebrates the work of its partner colleges, past and present, in supporting the 2+2 students with their first steps in returning to education.
This inspirational degree programme will continue to provide exciting, interdisciplinary opportunities for local adults who have not yet started their journey into higher education, therefore empowering them to achieve their aspirations. These aspirations often relate to highly rewarding careers in key services within the local community, including social work, policing, teaching, counselling and local government."
Dr Charlotte Jones, Associate Professor and Course Director
