Introduction Welcome to the new Certificate programme offered by the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Warwick.

Certificates are worth 30 credits (and are at the same academic level as our previous Open Studies programme). There is a wide range of Certificates, which have been designed to be stimulating and enjoyable.

Some may be counted towards one of our Part-time Degrees.

All the Certificates are held either on campus or at Stone Hall Adult Education Centre in Acocks Green.

Whether you are working or not, students, parents or grandparents, we believe learning is for life.

The programme includes a number of our popular Certificates which have been revised and many new Certificates. I hope you will find something of interest.

This Certificate provides a comprehensive insight into the background processes that are essential to successful fieldwork, considering the range of essential data needed before beginning any major archaeological project.

HISTORY OF ART I C040

Art Crime Tutor david packwood For two thousand years, works of art have been stolen, faked, forged, and generally dealt with in an illicit way. Paintings, sculptures and other artefacts disappear from museums and private individuals every day, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. The proceeds of art crime are used to fund terrorism, drugs and other illicit activities. All aspects of art crime are examined on this course, beginning with a curative approach by introducing you to the fight back against art crime.

Skills in Group Work

29

Tutor mark bannister Whether at work, in our social activities or in our involvement in the communities in which we live, most of us find ourselves working in group or teams. Our roles can be as active members, organisers, temporary leaders of particular initiatives or more formal coordinators or managers. Yet the skills of working with groups and teams are generally undervalued and under-recognised. Whatever our role, we can increase our personal effectiveness, confidence and enjoyment of working in groups and teams by a greater understanding of how and why people might tend to behave in particular ways in group settings. This course provides a thorough introduction to the principles and practice of working in and with groups and teams and can be adapted to the needs of students with a range of backgrounds and professional needs. The Certificate will be taught using an experiential group format in parallel with theoretical learning. There will be a strong focus on linking the course content to the work and/or life situations of students.

Work Psychology Tutor rob wilde The role of work in our lives, whether paid or unpaid, is considerable: status, social experiences, specific skills and, of course, income, all emanate from the world of paid work. From the perspective of psychology, why and how we engage with the world of work, and the impact on the individual of their working environment, continues to be of interest to researchers. The study of work psychology, a discipline which covers a broad range of issues from recruitment to conflict resolution, has much to offer in increasing our understanding of the processes involved.

SCIENCES I C013

Ecology and Conservation Tutor godfrey armitage On this Certificate, students will consider the fundamental concepts of ecology, then biodiversity and man’s influence on it. Examining theoretical principles underlying wildlife conservation, we see how these are used in management of various ecosystems. We investigate the ecology of woodlands, streams, ponds, grassland and moths by fieldwork and study of research reports. Students need not assume prior scientific knowledge, but they should be prepared to debate and discuss scientific ideas and issues in class, to research background material, to participate in field work and to produce original work.

SOCIAL AND HEALTH STUDIES I C017

HEALTH STUDIES Tutor Anne Grimley This Certificate introduces students to analysing contemporary health issues from a variety of perspectives; particularly the contribution of the social sciences.

It looks at controversies around the role of biomedicine in society, and the way that health varies across social groups. A life-cycle approach will examine factors that impact and reinforce good/poor health and people’s sense of wellbeing and control over their daily lives. It will also look at ways that this can be measured through’ objective and ‘subjective ways. It will consider the extent to which health, wellbeing and quality of life are becoming important markers of progress as well as economic performance. It will equip students to examine the relevance of biological, social, economic and psychological influences and social divisions and identities associated with class, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality and political status.
