The Learning Institute

The Learning Institute provides opportunities for individuals and communities through high quality education, training and research programmes that challenge personal barriers and promote social inclusion.

Based in the South West of England, we deliver these opportunities at venues in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, South Gloucestershire, Bristol and London. We offer a range of undergraduate and masters degree courses, initial teacher training, apprenticeships and CPD programmes.  Our courses are run locally, and are designed to fit around work and family life.

At The Learning Institute we treat all students as individuals.  We provide a nurturing environment with dedicated tutors and support for students, trainees and apprenticeships. We offer a variety of programmes using a flexible learning approach. If you are already working in the education or health sectors and want to further your career prospects, returning to education as a mature student, or if you are still planning your future, we may have a programme that suits you.

We believe learning should be informed by research, guided by ethics and committed to communities.  It should offer the freedom to make empowering choices, remove barriers to allow the freedom to make those choices and create the desire and expectation that the choices made will lead to positive change.
