Students Short courses

Professional short courses


In today's competitive career environment, distinguishing yourself isn’t optional – it's essential.

We offer a variety of short, flexible Continuous Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) accredited courses that will help enhance your professional development.

See the full list of courses and apply now.

If you apply for several of these short courses, they can make up modules for our flexible learning framework, the Innovation, Communication and Enterprise (ICE).

Each course is worth either 20 or 30 credits, so by taking several courses (which must include 'core' modules / courses), you can accumulate credits, and work towards gaining either a:
  • Certificate in Higher Education in ICE (120 credits)
  • Foundation degree in ICE (240 credits)
If you gain a Foundation degree in ICE, you will have the option to top-up to the final year and obtain a Bachelors Degree.

Courses are delivered using the latest teaching techniques. Learners will access a virtual learning environment to develop their own personal and professional spaces to manage their learning. The University of West London also uses in-class technology, for example peer-assisted sessions, using voting technology.

Course fees

£350 for an employer that pays for their staff member (the employer will be invoiced for £350).
£500 for an individual that pays for themself.
