FAQs

No answers found, but we might still be able to help

What are personal interest courses?

Personal interest courses are topics you study not necessarily to gain a qualification (although some of these courses are certified) but more to expand your knowledge, challenge yourself and help you take up a new hobby.

If there’s something you’ve always wanted to learn but never felt as though you had the time or even knew where to start, we have a range of interesting courses for you to sink your teeth into.

From genealogy to garden design, these varied courses are tailored to the bold and the curious.

How does studying a personal Interest course online work?

Your free time is precious, and as such, when you opt for a personal interest course, you should leave each study session feeling invigorated. That’s one of the reasons why an online approach complements this so well.

You have complete control over when and for how long you study, making the entire thing more fun rather than a burden to get through.

In addition, with 24-hour access and the ability to schedule one-to-ones with your personal tutor, you get so much more out of an online course compared to more traditional methods of study.

Why study a personal interest course with Oxbridge?

Our entire mission objective is to change the world’s views of education and provide opportunities for everybody to learn regardless of their educational experiences and background.

Yes, education is essential for getting the most out of your career, but it’s also a way to feel more fulfilled in your personal life. For example, a mindfulness course can help you tackle the stresses of work more effectively, but it can also help you stop and better appreciate the things around you.

All of our courses are available through our award-winning learning platform. Industry experts put the content together specifically for us, so even though you’re learning for pleasure, that quality of learning will be extremely high.

This platform and all of your course materials are available 24 hours a day, so you can study when it suits you, just like you should when it comes to personal interest courses.

If you’d like more information about any of our courses or have any questions, please get in touch with one of our learning advisers.
