City Lit has been providing part-time courses for adults for more than 85 years and now attracts over 22,000 students a year. The college began running courses to prepare adults for university in the mid 1960s and so has more than thirty years of successful experience in this area.  We understand that returning to study can be daunting as well as an exciting experience.  Our courses include small group work and individual study advice and support to help you take this step successfully.  We also offer courses with different patterns of study so that you can find the form which suits you best.
                                                
In addition to its Access to Higher Education programmes City Lit offers a wide choice of part-time courses: visual arts, performing arts, languages, humanities, computing, health and movement, psychology and counselling, music, and teacher and management training. There is also specialist provision for deaf adults and for those with learning difficulties, and courses in speech therapy. An outreach programme, including many award-winning projects, takes learning out to the community.

City Lit now boasts excellent facilities at its purpose-designed building which include: drama studios and music rooms; a learning centre and library; a multi-purpose performance hall; student lounges; and 56 bright, modern teaching rooms.
