As a employee, you gain strengthened career development, updated technological skills, enhanced professional competence and improved employability.

As an employer, the knowledge base of your company is improved, upgraded and revitalised; new networking opportunities are created; you gain access to University expertise relevant to your core business and your staff do not have to take long absences from the workplace.

What does a short course involve?

Without assessment, about 50 hours of study are completed. Each course includes a full set of study notes plus some extra reading material to study further if desired.

Because short courses are usually modules which form part of an award - a Certificate, Diploma, or MSc -, students may opt to complete the necessary assessments (coursework and/or exams) to gain credits. A typical module carries 10-15 credits for which further hours of independent study are needed.

Further course titles will be chosen and brought on-line according to suitability and demand so if you have a particular interest or would like to discuss your or your company's individual requirements, please contact us.
