ACE priorities
Community Education courses offered by the University of Canterbury contribute to and encourage lifelong learning by aligning with the government’s priorities for ACE provision in universities.
These priorities include:
- providing specialised and research informed higher-level learning that contributes directly to the creation of an advanced and rapidly changing knowledge economy
- contributing to the knowledge society through the preservation, dissemination and application of university research
- promoting the development of critical and reflective thinking, and active and informed citizenship locally, nationally and globally
- facilitating pathways into and through university education
- building capability in the wider adult and community education sector
