You can attend short courses, workshops and evening classes in a wide range of subjects throughout the year at the university. Many of our courses are accredited by professional bodies, and allow you to update your existing professional skills or develop new ones.
You can also transfer credits from short courses towards an MSc or other qualification, or do the courses purely for your own professional development.
Our short courses can be customised to meet the specific training needs of your organisation and be delivered on your premises. We also work with organisations to develop customised staff development programmes that can count towards university-level qualifications.
