Graduate and professional development

There are numerous benefits associated with sponsoring students on our postgraduate programmes or Diplomas for Graduates. (Diplomas for Graduates are equivalent in level to the final year of an undergraduate degree. They are taken by those who are graduates in another discipline but who want to gain a firm understanding of a new field of study.)

As students study by distance learning they can continue with their studies while they work, and do not need to take time away from the workplace. They can apply their new knowledge, ideas and strategies in your workplace, right from the start.

Sponsoring your staff enables you to reward and motivate your high potential employees, while equipping them with the skills and knowledge to take your business forward.

Our courses offer an invaluable way of gaining up-to-date technical and specialist knowledge and tools in your organisation.

Many of our postgraduate programmes offer students the opportunity to write a dissertation under expert supervision, based on issues in the student’s place of work. This may act as a consultancy for your business, bringing their fresh-thinking and insights directly back into the workplace.

Our programmes are ideal for multinational employers. Managers can study wherever they are based, and if they are relocated within your organisation, they can still continue with their studies.

Our programmes allow multinational employers, looking to develop the same competencies worldwide, to deliver a consistent standard globally. Read more about our quality assurance procedures. 

Continuing professional development

Individual modules of any of our courses can be taken for continuing professional development purposes. These allow your staff to keep up to date with latest management strategies or technological developments or gain specialist knowledge.

Successful study may count towards meeting CPD requirements of certain professional bodies.
