A range of short course opportunities may be accessed through the Centre for Flexible Education.
Undergraduate courses are undertaken for reasons of personal and/or professional development, and application is welcomed, regardless of previous qualifications.
A selection of these short courses offer formally recognised University credit, which can contribute toward the achievement of the Certificate of Personal and Professional Development when a combination of short courses worth 60 credit points in total have been successfully completed.
This enables individuals to gain formal recognition and if desired, supports application to further study at HE level. Our undergraduate short course listings can be found on the link below.
This list changes regularly so check back for an updated offering.
