Staff Learning & Development

Part of Human Resources, SLD ’s primary purpose is to design and implement university-wide training and development systems and programmes. Much of the work of the Unit is geared to helping the University meet its commitments as good employer by ensuring that training needs are identified and provision is in place to meet organisational as well individual needs. This means that we work closely with specialist internal and external providers to design programmes to meet specific requirements.

Tuition Refund Scheme

The Tuition Refund Scheme provides a means for financially supporting staff wishing to be considered for courses leading to further qualifications.
