Modern Academy of Continuing Education

Our Story

MACE is based on the crucial principle of lifelong learning and offers a range of courses and activities for personal and professional growth through a collaborative approach, bringing together enquiring citizens and the academic and professional sectors to address challenges in education, urban living, economic development, the arts, and life long learning.
MACE is a public spirited learning centre and an ‘equal opportunity space’ allowing people of all ages to co-exist effectively in the same classroom environment. This is achieved through interdisciplinary approaches, community partnerships and applied research.

At MACE we believe in the liberating nature of education. We provide individuals with the knowledge, skills, motivation and resources to develop the capacity to manage change. We reinforce that education should be continuous; the accumulated experiences of life should be the blocks with which we continue building and reshaping ourselves.

MACE emphasises three pillars on which its policies and regulations rest: integrity, respect for others and respect for the values of teaching, learning and scholarship.
