Despite the fact that I had a background in Social Sciences having graduated with honours in Educational Management and Political Science and with a masters degree in International Relations, I still benefitted immensely from the course. It stimulated my interest in Social Care."

The ARLT Difference

Individualised Discourse Approach

The ARLT is unique in each student is allocated not only a tutor but also a student counsellor who will assist the student throughout the programme.

The ARLT programmes are about enriching human lives. This is done through discourse and extension of the humanistic ideals which includes attitudes of care, trust, empathy, positive regard, and respect for the learner. This novel approach you will not have seen anywhere before.

The ARLT Foundation’s success is in no small part due to the commitment of tutors. This is also why ARLT programmes are valued so much. The relationship between the tutor and student is of major significance to the ARLT philosophy.The tutor’s role is to ensure  student develop a passion and excitement  for learning and to anchor the learning process by providing a hands-on approach to issues as well as challenges. The ARLT  tutors allow flexibility to meet the demands of individual students who have diverse educational backgrounds and past experience.

The ARLT has considerable experience in reflective learning and teaching and the ARLT programme format is designed to provide students with the opportunity to engage in a highly personal way not only with the specific course subjects but with the many issues that confront us in the twenty first century.


Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing home. The ARLT Foundation is nurturing, fresh and innovative, join us today.

International Approach

You will graduate as a citizen of the world and join students from all over the world. In an increasingly global world it is essential to have a qualification that illustrates your willingness to participate in an education programme that instills diversity skills, cultural understanding and an international outlook. For non-native English speakers the programme will allow your develop your written language skills to a level required at Master’s level. (IELTS 6.5) For native English speakers your writing skills will greatly improve.

The possibilities are endless after you have graduated. Many students who already have a Bachelor's degree use their ARLT studies  to assist them to work towards a Master’s degree or for those who have not had the opportunity to reach a Bachelor's level use their studies as a foundation for university education without having to incur a huge financial investment. You could commence a new rewarding career or use your skills for success/promotion in your present career while simply being aware that you have gained a grounding in relevant areas to have a more meaningful understanding of your life and society.
