The children's university is an international charity that provides 7 to 14 year olds with access to exciting and innovative CU Learning Activities and experiences outside of the normal school day.
On becoming members of the Children's University, children are issued with a passport to Learning. The children are encouraged to travel to CU learning destinations and participate in CU Learning activities. Each hour of CU validated learning they complete, brings a child closer to a Children's University graduation certificate, presented at a locally organised CU graduation ceremony, hosted in a real university/further education setting with proud parents/carers in the audience.
