Your learning experience : Giving you a step up
Continuing professional development : single module and short course study
Whatever qualification you ’ re considering , remember that QMU is committed to continuing professional development ( CPD ) and we will always have something more to offer you in terms of further study and developing your career .
Single module study
You do not have to commit to a full named award ( eg MSc , MA etc ). You can opt to study individual modules from many of the courses listed in this prospectus . As little as one module will enable you to further your knowledge in your chosen area .
Satisfactory completion of a module ( including assessments ) can provide credit towards a postgraduate award ( eg degree or diploma ), for which you subsequently register .
This option can be particularly useful for those returning to study after many years in work . If you haven ’ t used your study skills for a while , or you want to try out study at QMU before committing yourself to a full named award , you can start with a single module to build your confidence and prepare you for further study .
Please contact the programme leader , listed on the individual course pages in this prospectus to find out which modules are particularly suitable for studying as a stand-alone option .
Short courses
We also offer short courses developed especially for CPD purposes . These are available to view on our website www . qmu . ac . uk / study-here / continuingprofessional-development-cpd-courses /
