Bespoke Short Courses

Durham University Business School is renowned for the quality of its executive short courses around the world and, through our Open Enrolment programmes, we have a range of off-the-peg solutions to your professional development needs.  Our summer programme of residential workshops, for instance, offers intensive immersion weekends in areas such as change management, scenario thinking, service excellence and crisis management, while our Global Executive Learning (GEL) and New Manager's Toolkit programmes bring the expertise of Durham faculty to your workforce worldwide via online and distance learning.

In many instances, however, there is simply not an off-the-peg solution available to satisfy your specific organisational training requirements.  We recognise that here at Durham and, as a consequence, have an Executive Education Team skilled in identifying your professional development needs and developing a course or programme unique to you. 

As a research-led institution, Durham has expertise in a number of areas, with acknowledged global experts ready and willing to engage with your organisation.  For a flavour of our areas of specialism, visit our key Research Centres and explore the activities they are engaged in.  Many of these centres are of global standing, housing some of the most influential figures in their chosen fields.  This critical mass of cutting-edge management knowledge, combined with the Executive Education Team's considerable experience in designing courses for high-profile corporate clients, is a winning combination available to your organisation today.
