  2. Vision To maximise UCL's global educational impact through the development of a broad range of innovative CPD and Short Courses

  3. Scoping CPD and Short Courses • Continuing Professional Development refers to skills and knowledge attained for both personal development and career advancement • CPD and Short Courses - commence as non-credit bearing with ability to transfer to credit-bearing via assessment along a “skills-escalator” concept

  4. Strategic Aims • To work with the academic community to develop a strategic plan for growth of a broad range of innovative CPD and Short Courses • To facilitate academic and business policy development to support the vision • To identify and collaborate with external partners to realise and enhance the vision

  5. Core Values CPD and Short Courses should be of the highest standards of academic and intellectual rigour - consistent with UCL's other educational activities Courses should provide participants with the most up-to-date research-led material - reflecting UCL's global leadership in research The student experience for CPD and Short Courses should be outstanding - and use of the full breadth of technological advancements is strongly encouraged We are committed to using CPD and Short Course development to stimulate innovation in our mainstream curriculum
