The Autism (Adults) programme is a distance learning programme which is studied part-time. It draws upon each student’s own experience as part of the content and assessment and is appropriate for practitioners working with adults across the autism spectrum within colleges, residential care, vocational or support services.

The University of Birmingham is the leading provider of degree-level education in autistic spectrum disorders in the UK - offering Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Our courses develop real insight and encourage reflective practice. You will be tutored by recognized experts in the field who work in the Autism Centre for Education and Research (ACER) and will have access to an extensive library and research materials. Academic credits and qualifications can be used as a springboard to further study. Our courses contribute towards LDAF and NVQ.
