Short courses are a great way to learn about a specific area, gain a new skill or introduce a new subject in bite-size chunks. They are a perfect way to upgrade skills or refresh understanding.
Courses last from just a few hours to several months and are generally open to all. However, some more complex courses will recommend students have specific experience or qualifications to enrol and get the most out of the course.
All the courses on this page are 100% taught online from accredited, recognised UK Universities and education providers.
