University Home Key Learning Opportunities was established by the University of Aberdeen in 1989, and aims to provide adult education opportunities for the North of Scotland and the Islands.

This includes the use of digital and video teleconferencing, allowing students in study centres throughout the North to contact their tutors in Aberdeen. Key Learning Opportunities is the UK leader in this approach, and continues to offer more people more study programmes as the technology network expands.
