Short Courses

Get a taster of university study, learn something new or acquire skills to develop your career. Whatever your reason for studying, UEL has a course for you.

Joining one of UEL’s short courses is a great way to experience university-quality teaching and add to your skillset. We champion lifelong learning and have developed a range of carefully structured programmes designed to increase knowledge and skills and provide a platform for career development or a stepping-stone to further study.

Learning for business and leisure

We offer courses that span business, education, human resources, law and technology, plus creative and media options and skills for life. This list is updated regularly to reflect both current business needs and the interests of our learning community.

Enrolling on a short course gives you access to expert tuition and UEL’s excellent resources. We offer a choice of convenient study locations across East London, where you’ll find a relaxed and friendly atmosphere designed to inspire and inform. There are evening courses and one-day workshops, with an increasing number of short courses also offered by distance learning.
