Here you can find all the modules and masterclasses that we commission as part of our continuing workfroce development (CWD) portfolio.

You can filter the results by the following:

  • course type
  • university
  • level and credits
  • subject area

A masterclass is an update course lasting one day. Please read the description carefully around what will be delivered. A masterclass is not at master’s level. Some will be a basic introduction to a subject and some may be building on previous knowledge. A masterclass does not prepare anyone to deliver specialist services. We recommend you speak directly to your chosen university about the details of any masterclass you are interested in.

A module will have academic credits attached to it at either level 6 (bachelor degree level) or level 7 (master’s level). You will be expected to complete an academic assignment. Some modules will last for 9–12 months and some may be completed within three months.

You can also search via keyword using the search box on the right hand side.

There is also a PDF of the full portfolio available, which can be downloaded here.
