As you may have seen in our recent courses and events brochure, the way we organise our learning has changed. Our learning is now divided into seven learning Centres. These Centres offer courses, consultancy, conferences and research opportunities to suit different styles of living and learning. Course formats still offer great variety, from evening lectures, day and residential courses - all at varying levels, from academic to experiential, intensive to leisurely. Find out more about the Sarum Centres of Learning Â»
