Personal Interest

Personal Interest courses

Life’s not about the 9-5, and neither is education. Yet so many of us attribute learning purely to upskilling, earning more money by moving up the career ladder or retraining for a new career entirely. Being a lifelong learner keeps your mind healthy and your skills honed. What’s more? Online learning at your own pace is ideal if you work part-time, or have other commitments. Oxbridge is an online college home to many unique personal interest online courses
