University set to update Chesterfield’s skill base
Employers who want to update their staff’s skills or individuals aiming to get ahead in their careers can find out what the University of Derby’s new Chesterfield Campus has to offer on October 27 at a Professional and Part-Time Study Open Evening.
From 4pm-7pm, University lecturers will be at the Campus in the former St Helena’s grammar school on Sheffield Road to outline the range of business, engineering, IT and health care courses on offer.
Professor Margaret Bruce, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, explained the benefits of part-time study: “Our flexible approach to teaching and learning enables you to fit studying around your other commitments.
“That means you can gain a professional qualification whilst working, to help further your career, broadening your skills and knowledge in a flexible way, without it affecting your lifestyle.”
Courses available through part-time study in Chesterfield are:
■ HND Business and Management
■ BEng (Hons) Professional Engineering
■ FdSc Information Technology
■ Continuing Professional Development in Health and Social Care
The Campus, due to open next month, has had a multi-million pound conversion which has been sympathetic to the listed St Helena’s building, conserving as many of its historic features as possible. Booking is essential: visit derby.ac.uk/open days
