		Our courses will enrich your understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts. They enable those with prior knowledge to take a fresh look at the arts while offering the beginner something more substantial and informative than a standard history of styles. It is important to us that learning is an enjoyable and exciting experience as well as the chance to socialise and exchange ideas with like minded fellow students. We attract participants from a wide range of countries and backgrounds; some have degrees in the History of Art, some have taken courses elsewhere and some are "absolute beginners". Each programme takes a fresh and innovative approach to the thought and arts of various periods and cultures and is carefully constructed to be logical and coherent with room for debate and discussion. We ensure that you are getting up to date information and high quality visual materials. Courses can be booked by the year, the term, a block or just a day at a time. THE COURSE was founded in 1994 and the following year, we began to offer study tours abroad. They have taken us to a range of countries throughout Europe, America, China, Egypt, Japan, India, and Turkey. Next year we introduce South America. Many of those travelling are students attending our teaching programmes but we welcome family, partners and friends and aim to make our tours as friendly as possible. Our visits are led by tutors who know and love the destinations and can offer far more than the standard tourist experience. Whilst the tours are arranged by us, they are facilitated through bonded agents so that participants have the security offered by a large company while enjoying the flexibility of an independent organisation. LECTURE TIMES Lecture programmes and visits are held between 10.45 and 12.45 with a break for refreshments. FREE CHOICE TICKET THE COURSE has a scheme for those who wish to plan their own programmes of study. The FREE CHOICE ticket enables you to select an individual session or series of lectures chosen from any of our programmes.
