BQUIK — Brief Quests in Uncommon Knowledge
BQUIK – Brief Quests in Uncommon Knowledge is the Uncommonology equivalent of a vocational qualification. Inspired by the spirit of the BTEC, each BQUIK course is a short, structured journey into applied uncommon knowledge.
Unlike long-form study, a BQUIK is designed to be practical, playful, and quick to complete. Think of them as project-style adventures: you’ll pick up skills, explore curious topics, and create something tangible — all without the heavy weight of exams or endless textbooks.
What Makes BQUIK Different?
-
Brief — Each BQUIK can be finished in a short burst of learning, often in a weekend or a handful of sessions.
-
Quests — Every module feels like an adventure, guiding you through unusual knowledge and unexpected applications.
-
Uncommon — The subjects are deliberately off the beaten track, leaning into the rare, the odd, and the overlooked.
-
Knowledge — You still come away with something real: a skill, an idea, a small creation, or just a story worth sharing.
Why BQUIK?
Because sometimes you don’t want to sign up for a full degree — you just want something quick, quirky, and uncommon that still feels like an achievement.
Each BQUIK stands alone, but together they form a living library of practical Uncommonology: tiny experiments in curiosity that might just reshape how you see everything else.
