Digital and cyber short courses

Our selection of cutting-edge short courses focus on the digital and cyber sector, and draw upon the extensive experience of the University of Wolverhampton's lecturers, as well as from employers currently working inside and contributing to these exciting industries. Course content is kept up-to-date with the ever-changing demands of practitioners.

• Develop your knowledge and understanding.
• Progress in your career or move into the sector.
• Fit your course around your work schedule through flexible blended learning - upskill while you work.
• Become a more desirable candidate for progression or a fresh new role.

There are four short courses available, each running over 12-14 weeks and delivered from 1pm-8 pm, one day per week, with breaks for independent study. The courses will be a blend of face-to-face tutorials, practical lab sessions, online self-directed study and work-based activities assessed by a portfolio, which will demonstrate the skills and knowledge you have achieved.
