We run our Continuing Professional Development modules throughout the year.
The start dates, teaching dates and assignment deadlines listed below are subject to change. A module running is dependent on numbers, but we will keep a "waiting list" and contact you if a new date becomes available in the future.
The closing date for applications for modules is two weeks prior to the module start date.
If you are interested in taking a module, please contact the School directly at msk@essex.ac.uk.
The following modules do not have a defined start date, or a pre-arranged coursework deadline. If you are interested in taking one of these modules please email msk@essex.ac.uk and let us know what dates you would be interested in doing.
