Continuous learning is relatively new as a concept. It is preceded by the concepts of lifelong learning, recurrent education, continuous education and lifelong education. The aim of this literature review is to find out the roots of the concept of continuous learning are.I also research how continuous learning affects the work of universities, especially in terms of its funding. I also examine how universities communicate their role in providing continuous learning. I carried out my bachelor’s thesis as a descriptive literature review and attached a section containing empiric research. As sources and material, I used both domestic and foreign research literature, publications, and the external websites of universities. In my research, the development of the concept continuous learning from lifelong education to lifelong learning and further to continuous learning emerged. The implications of the task of promoting continuous learning to university funding could also be seen. The analysis of the empiric section on the content of the universities’ continuous learning websites revealed to some extent the definition of the concept of continuous learning that I set out to find.
