Learning for busy professionals

We understand the time pressures facing modern professionals. That’s why our Executive Education and CPD programmes are structured to deliver accessible, flexible, and outcome-driven learning that fits around your work and life — without compromising quality or depth.

Evening delivery for maximum convenience

All open courses run in the evenings from 18:30 to 20:30, typically one evening per week for 8 weeks, allowing learners to:

  • Minimise disruption to their working day
  • Reflect on content between sessions
  • Apply learning in real time
  • Build momentum and sustained engagement over two months

This format is ideal for those managing full-time roles, business operations, or team leadership responsibilities.

Flexible delivery: online, on campus, or hybrid

You choose how and where you learn:

  • Online: Live virtual sessions on MS Teams or Zoom for flexibility and interactivity
  • In person: Face-to-face delivery at Brunel’s West London campus, with access to our facilities
  • Hybrid: For closed cohorts, we can combine delivery modes to suit global or distributed teams

Regardless of format, every course is designed to be engaging, interactive, and peer-driven.

Interactive, applied, and collaborative

Our programmes go beyond lectures. We use:

  • Real-world case studies and business simulations
  • Small-group discussions and live problem-solving
  • Reflection exercises and scenario-based activities
  • Ongoing tutor feedback and peer learning

This ensures learners not only understand the material, but know how to use it.

Faculty-led, practitioner-informed

Courses are team-taught by Brunel academics with both research and applied industry expertise. Many sessions also include guest speakers, alumni, and sector specialists, ensuring a 360° view of the topic.

Practical assessment – no formal exams

Assessment focuses on participation and application:

  • No exams
  • Reflective tasks and in-session exercises
  • Peer and tutor feedback
  • Certificate awarded with minimum 70% attendance

Supportive cohort-based model

Courses are typically run with a minimum of 15 participants, which:

  • Encourages collaborative learning and diverse perspectives
  • Creates a dynamic, interactive learning environment
  • Enables personal attention and tailored support from faculty

Organisations choosing closed cohorts benefit from full alignment with their strategic goals, culture, and internal capabilities.
