Courses for professional development and gaining new qualifications.

Courses for Professional Development and New Qualifications

These courses are specifically designed for the public. They have their own curriculum, duration, and assessment methods, making them an ideal choice for gaining new qualifications or advancing your professional skills.

For example, the Faculty of Education offers courses for current and future teachers, while the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering provides courses leading to certificates in technical drawing and energy systems.

Course dates and application details are available on the website.
