Continuing professional development

Online and in-person courses for professionals

Our extensive range of continuing professional development (CPD) courses are designed for those who wish to update their skills, change career, or earn a qualification. We work with academic experts across the University and beyond to deliver world-class programmes to professional learners from across the globe, both in Oxford and online.

Our professional courses benefit from Oxford University's excellence in research and teaching as a globally top-ranking university and offer a dynamic and supportive environment that promotes valuable professional networks.

From business and management to diplomatic studies, ethics to medicine, technology to urban studies, we have a programme for you.

Bespoke courses

We have extensive experience of working with clients locally, nationally and internationally in designing and delivering high-quality, cost-effective training solutions tailored to your exact requirements. We can create customised online, in-person and/or hybrid courses, or you can choose one or more courses from our existing portfolio to be delivered where and when you want it. You can also select aspects of our existing course content and combine them with personalised course elements.

If you’d like to discuss a customised course or training package, please contact us at: bespoke@conted.ox.ac.uk

Please note that our customised courses are aimed at companies and large organisations. Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer customised courses to individuals.
