Executive Education and CPD
  • Executive education

    We work in partnership with clients to boost individual and organisational performance. We have the ability and experience to develop, deliver and evaluate a wide range of complementary training and development programmes.

    And because we select tutors who are experts in their field, clients are assured of consistently high quality management development.

    We develop skills and competencies through:

    •  High quality courses, run by experts
    •  Open and bespoke courses
    •  Accredited provision
    •  Flexible content and delivery
    •  Competence or capability routes

    Our training and development programmes are designed to match key and leading edge business trends and strategies. Our approach centres around ensuring both that delegates' and their sponsoring companies' expectations are met and that value for money is achieved. Evaluation of the training experience and its application back into the workplace form an integral part of this strategy.

    Clients can attend our open courses or may prefer a bespoke programme delivered in house. Whatever the level of staff development our aim is to deliver practical and relevant programmes that further participants' personal development and increase their effectiveness at work.

    UWS Business School also offers a range of postgraduate courses, many available on a part-time day, evening and distance learning mode - please follow the link to the UWS Business School for detailed information.

  • Executive Education for New Technologies

    Executive Education for New Technologies was designed to increase the employability of graduates within the Biotechnology and IT sectors. The project was managed and delivered by the UWS Business School with funding support from Scottish Enterprise Ayrshire and the European Social Fund. The project provided management skills, training and work shadowing experience for 12 science and technology graduates who were not working within these industry sectors at the time.

    Designed to enhance the management skills and capability of graduates and leading to the Institute of Management Certificate in Management, the programme concentrated on the practical application of management theory and principles.

    Seminars

    The UWS Business School runs regular seminars, many in partnership with other organisations, that are delivered by top quality speakers. These include Edward de Bono, the world-renowned creative thinker, as well as Giovanni Benedetti and Chris van der Kuyl, both innovative entrepreneurs.

  • What our clients say

    It was a first class experience – I gained the skills and knowledge to understand the business dynamics and acquired the tools to undertake analysis and management of business issues. The prestigious MBA qualification is recognised globally and built on the business experience I had already gained with General Electric.

  • Participants have found this programme, which has been tailored to meet the National Health Service, extremely valuable as a first step on the management ladder. The delivery of the programme has been of the highest standard and the support offered to participants has been excellent. This has been a true partnership working process with the programme continuing to evolve to meet the needs of the NHS and the participants.
