Once again it is time for my termly new courses post and this time I am very excited about our new offerings:\u00a0 Animal Behaviour: An Introduction<\/a>, Advanced Creative Writing<\/a>,\u00a0 Inequality and Labour Markets<\/a>, Who are the Celts?<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Creative writing<\/a> has long been one of our most popular portfolios and so it is fitting that it now sees out first level 5 online course, Advanced Creative Writing<\/a>. Essentially this is the next level on from the rest of our online courses, equivalent to the second year of an undergraduate degree rather than the first year.\u00a0 This course really does build on what has gone before, challenging students to take their writing to the next level and start to think about what might be really involved in getting published.<\/p>\n

In contrast Animal Behaviour: An Introduction<\/a>, is the first online course we have developed in biological sciences, but it won’t be our last.\u00a0 I am really pleased with this course, it mixes the hard science with a chance to look at and analyse the behaviour of animals around you (or online), and put theory into practice. I am not usually the sort of person to watch nature documentaries but even I found it fascinating, if you love animals I can only imagine you will love it.\u00a0 Lastly I have already been able to impress friends with facts I learnt in the course which has to be a good sign.<\/p>\n

Who are the Celts?<\/a> is a new course from Wendy Morrison who wrote out ever popular Archaeology in Practice.<\/a>\u00a0 Like that course, this is another great addition to our Archaeology portfolio filled with fabulous images, resources, activities and more.\u00a0 I have learnt that the real Celts are not necessarily who you think they are, and this course will give you a chance to find out what this actually means.<\/p>\n

Lastly our economics portfolio is definitely enhanced by Inequality and Labour Markets<\/a>, a perennial economics topic which feels especially relevant at the moment.\u00a0 If you are interested in the issues around Inequality, this course will allow you to dig deeper than the news and discover the underlying theory that has led to current practice and some of the latest academic research on whether this is a good or bad thing.<\/p>\n

Essentially all four of these are courses that would enhance anyone’s life to study for 10 weeks, just pick the one that really interests you, and if none of these quite whet your appetite do look at everything else available at on the Continuing education website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
