We offer a range of learning opportunities that are specifically aimed at people who are seeking expansion and up-dating of their expertise and skills for the purposes of either professional or voluntary career development. These programmes are modular and delivered in part-time modes through evening sessions, weekends, and block sessions. Teaching takes place on the Edgbaston Campus and at other locations in the UK. Our programmes are market-led and regularly reviewed to ensure that they are of relevance to practitioners.
