About the course

Delivered in partnership with Barnsley Museums, Clifton Park Museum and Museums Sheffield, the Discover course is designed to build your confidence if you have been out of formal learning for two or more years.

The course gives a real flavour of the university experience, and gives you a chance to take part in a range of activities and discussions. It also provides vital information, advice and guidance, like how to apply to university and how to finance your studies.

Teaching and learning methods

Each weekly session includes:

• discussions and activities
• information, advice and guidance provided by University staff or selected partners.

There are no written assessments or assignments on this course.

Each Discover course varies slightly, with new sessions constantly being developed. Previous courses have included:

Every course features an in-depth 'Next Steps' session, including one-to-one careers advice and guidance. We also host a celebration session at the end of each course.
