The University offers many open courses for individuals in a range of different executive and professional fields. Courses can be counted towards a degree or diploma, but are mostly shorter, more intensive, non-award courses. Executive and professional education does not offer full degree programmes.
Anyone is welcome to apply for open courses. They run on a regular basis, and while some are designed for those in particular professional fields, many deal with general executive themes that will be of value to a wide range of people.
Only a small number of courses are available online, but we'll be looking to expand that in the future.
Open programmes fall in the following fields:
- Business innovation
- Climate change
- Executive coaching
- Finance and investment
- General leadership
- General management
- Health care leadership
- Law
- Managing people
- Manufacturing
- Marketing and branding
- Medical, dental, nursing, and physiotherapy
- Property investment
- Social and political science
- Surgery
- Sustainability
- Teaching, counselling, and mentoring
- Technology management
- Ultrasound
- Veterinary medicine
