Professional Education
Our courses support professional growth for those working at the intersection of science, technology, engineering, and public policy.
We work closely with clients and partner organisations to deliver bespoke professional education programmes, tailored to the needs of the organisation and learners.
Our courses are founded on the expertise of STEaPP staff and our experience delivering research-led training within and across the following domains:
- Digital technologies
- Development
- Innovation
- Risk and uncertainty
- Research methods, evaluation and impact
- Science advice
- Science diplomacy
- Sustainability
- Urbanisation
Courses can be taught in-person, at UCL campuses in London (Bloomsbury or UCL East) or at partner organisations’ venues, or online. A range of course lengths and durations are also available, as needed to ensure the best outcomes for learners.
