Flexible Lifelong Learning

Cardiff University’s new Institute for Flexible Lifelong Learning, established in August 2026, brings together the University’s long established lifelong learning and professional development portfolios into a single Institute with an expanded, future-focused approach to flexible study. The Institute builds on our strong foundations with a clear ambition – to make Cardiff University a “learning partner for life”, offering education that fits around work, life and changing career needs.

To support this ambition, Cardiff University are procuring the services of an Online Programme Management (OPM) as a flexible partner to provide specialist expertise and operational support for the development, launch and growth of a portfolio of fully online postgraduate programmes, with the first programmes expected to commence recruitment from Spring/Summer 2027 with the first cohort of students anticipated to start in academic year 2027/28.
