The classes at South Kensington include Spanish, French and Italian language at beginner or conversational level; Music for Listening; The Joy of Art; Creative Writing; Photography; and London (Art, Literature and People).

The Lunchtime Learning series builds on the success of Imperial’s ever-popular Evening Classes which have inspired many people, helped them navigate different countries and even launched new careers.

Dr Anna Nyburg is Coordinator of Evening Classes and has been involved in teaching humanities subjects at Imperial since 1989.

“This all came about because I represent the Centre [for Languages, Culture and Communication] at Imperial Insights - a meet and greet session for new staff. I was increasingly hearing people express an interest in the Evening Classes, but they simply couldn’t consider it because they had a young family or other important commitments. So we’re trialling it this year, and if it’s successful we’ll have a larger offering next year.”

Anna also notes that the lunchtime classes offer the chance to break up the day, and do ‘something for yourself’ and also helps with the overall work-life balance...

Registration for the Lunchtime Classes opens on 1 September, with classes commencing in October. For more information and to enrol, please visit: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/centre-for-languages-culture-and-communication/lunchtime-learning/
