Find out how the the Centre for Innovation in Professional Learning (CIPL) can assist you in pursuing your CPD idea.

The University has identified CPD as a tool which can be used to engage with a variety of significant sectors in the economy and to support key professions. Potentially, it provides new models for engaging with enterprises as well as whole sectors and individual professionals. It also provides new access pathways into postgraduate award programs and, potentially, opens up new income streams. Successful, sustainable CPD initiatives rely upon careful planning and the development of new understandings and skill sets within Faculties and other parts of the University. CIPL has been established to support the process of building successful initiatives within Faculties and Schools.
