Oxford University Department of Continuing Education
The University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education provides opportunities for people from a wide variety of backgrounds to benefit from the University’s rich and unique resources, offering learners access to a range of part-time courses. The department’s beginnings can be traced back to the 19th Century, when Oxford was one of the founders of the ‘extension’ movement, where universities began to offer educational opportunities to adult learners. Rewley House was acquired by the University in 1927 to be the physical base of continuing education and after two intervening name changes the department became the University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education in 1990. Today the department has over 15,000 part-time students from more than 160 countries.

Established in 2000 the School of Archaeology was the successor to the Committee of Archaeology. Based in three locations in central Oxford staff and students have access to libraries, museums, laboratories and other facilities of the University. Working across the inhabited world the School uses the full range of theories, methods and techniques available to archaeologists to study the full scope of human history and the environmental settings in which they existed.
