Workforce development- Practice Partner arrangements
Our units and pathways are designed and implemented in collaboration with practice colleagues, supporting the development of a workforce that is not only fit for the here and now, but will be able to lead and innovate into the future.
We also run bespoke provision tailored to your specific personal and organisation needs, which can be requested upon demand from the CPD team.
We take pride in our approach which facilitates flexible partnerships with employers, and meets the needs and requirements of candidates, workforce development managers and agencies. Delivering tangible and measurable results in our courses is rooted in all that we do!
Flexibility - Your personal learning journey
No career pathway is the same and at BU we understand the challenges that come from duality of being a student and practitioner.
Bournemouth University has long history of delivering CPD across industries. Our large portfolio of workforce development and CPD opportunities reflects practice transformations across health, social care and public sector. It is constantly updated to ensure that it meets the needs of our stakeholder organisations and students.
We understand that fitting study in and around your busy working life can be a challenge, so we have a number of flexible courses that allow you to study bite-sized units at your convenience, while working towards a final qualification, such as a Masters award. You may wish to complete one unit at a time or more, or enrol on a full pathway – the choice is yours. Please feel free to reach out to our academic staff to discuss your options.

As academics we are keen to include the voice of the people we serve in practice through close collaboration with the PIER partnership.
