CPD

The University of Edinburgh's Academy of Government is firmly committed to the principle of lifelong learning and the need, in the public and non-profit sectors of the 21st century, for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The Academy is home to a vast amount of expertise, spanning a wide range of subject areas and public policy sectors.

In addition to our current programmes the Academy is in the process of developing a range of Executive Education programmes in public policy and leadership. These programmes will be designed for leaders in the public, private and non-profit sectors who wish to enhance their skills and expand their knowledge through rigorous academic training. CPD programmes will be led by Academy faculty members who design engaging and challenging courses.
