Who you’ll learn from

Subject Experts

To ensure relevance and rigour, the programme content is developed in consultation with both university faculty and industry leaders.

Facilitators

Get both live and on-demand guidance from experienced professionals for content challenges and industry best practices.

Career Coaches

Set yourself up for long-term success in your career through a mix of one-to-one sessions and interactive masterclasses with your coach.

Get proof of what you know and of what you can do

If you want to stand out, you need the right knowledge and the ability to translate it into action.

The university certificate you’ll earn once you graduate is a recognised mark of excellence that helps you stand out in a crowded market. To complement the certificate, you can use the Employer Project as a case study to prove the relevance of what you’ve learned and your ability to deliver commercial value to a business.
