University Centre Peterborough (UCP), part of Inspire Education Group (IEG), is marking National Adult Learning Week by showcasing how flexible degree routes, Access to Higher Education diplomas, and Degree Apprenticeships are transforming adult career prospects across Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire.

With local industry demands evolving rapidly, UCP’s adult learning provision is tailored to help working professionals and mature students retrain, boost their earning potential, and progress into high-skilled roles without putting their lives on hold.

Key adult learning and upskilling pathways offered at UCP include:

• Flexible Full-Time & Part-Time Degrees across Business, Health, Social Sciences, Digital Technology, and Education.
• Higher & Degree Apprenticeships, enabling employees to gain a full degree with 100% employer/government tuition funding while earning a competitive salary.
• Access to Higher Education Pathways, offering flexible progression routes for adult learners returning to education after a break.

Joanne Ridd, a Psychosocial Studies graduate from University Centre Peterborough, shared her experience of returning to study as a mature student: “I had my family first, and then I thought, ‘It’s about time it’s for me.’ Returning to study showed me that I am capable of achieving anything I want to.”
