Our Professional Development Postgraduate Certificate programme enables you to choose optional modules in line with your professional development needs in subjects such as:

Leadership and management

Change management

Learning and development

Personal effectiveness

You can start with one module and return later to build it into a qualification, or enrol for the qualification at the outset. The ‘step-on, step-off’ nature means you can pace your study to suit your own work/life balance.

Students may also make a claim (Accreditation of Prior Learning) to gain credits for exemption from some modules.

Progression routes to Postgraduate Diploma and Master's Degree are available via the Professional Practice route.

Assessment Methods

The assessment methods vary and may include coursework, project proposals, reports, reflective commentary, and oral presentations.

The University will use all reasonable effort to deliver the courses as described, but the University reserves the right to make changes to advertised courses. In exceptional circumstances that are beyond the University’s reasonable control (Force Majeure Events), we may need to amend the programmes and provision advertised. In this event, the University will take reasonable steps to minimise the disruption to your studies. If a course is withdrawn or if there are any fundamental changes to your course, we will give you reasonable notice and you will be entitled to request that you are considered for an alternative course or withdraw your application. You are advised to revisit our website for up-to-date course information before you submit your application.
