As you have asked about the Children’s University in Dundee, I am giving you information about it, check below for the details

Children’s University provides an accreditation framework for learning outside of normal school hours

Credits are given for taking part in activities on school sites (such as after-school clubs, drama groups or sports teams) and in other places where learning takes place such as museums, parks and community organisations.

Children's University aims to promote social mobility to children aged 7 to 14 (and 5 and 6 year olds with their families) and engaging the wider communities as learning partners in this process.
A fundamental principle is that participation is voluntary, enabling children to explore different learning environments, to become independent and confident learners.
Its aim is to raise aspirations, boost achievement and encourage a love of learning.

Working:

Each child has a Passport to Learning where he/she collects the credits for learning
To achieve bronze level each child needs to do 30 hours of learning.
Silver level is 65 hours in at least two different areas of learning.
Gold level is 100 hours in at least two different areas of learning with the demonstration of leadership skills.
There are higher levels than these too.
Achievement is recognised and celebrated at graduation ceremonies, normally hosted by a partner university.
