Flexible employer-focused education
Centre for Work and Learning
By combining courses already available through the university and our educational partners in Sussex, you can offer your staff education that fits your business. You can also add elements of your own existing in-house training.
This offers an efficient way to provide your employees with relevant higher-level education, which fits around the demands of their job and can be delivered at the workplace or online, at convenient intervals. We offer this service through our Centre for Work and Learning.
Flexible graduate certificate in business management
The Graduate Certificate in Management provides bespoke, higher-level education designed to address company-specific requirements. Taught in-house, and with a broad range of modules to choose from, it is ideal for organisations looking to develop leadership and management skills amongst their existing staff.
