About the Office of Lifelong Learning

Nayanta University is building its centre for continuing and lifelong learning. Our ambition is to create a space devoted to lifelong learning — a space where working professionals, organisational leaders, founders, civil servants, artists, and individuals from all walks of life can return to education with seriousness and humility.

Many adults carry a quiet question: What if I could receive the education I once wished I had?

An education that sharpens thought, deepens perspective, and allows one to step back from the urgencies of professional life to examine society, institutions, ethics, leadership, and the self.

We are building this space as our answer to that question.

If that question resonates with you, we invite you to help shape the response.
