Launching in September 2026, UCIL Short Courses are designed to help you tackle real‑world challenges and develop diverse, transferable skills.

  • They are non‑credit bearing, which means you can take them alongside your main degree.
  • Designed to be short, flexible and relevant, UCIL Short Courses help you make the most of your time at Manchester while developing skills for life beyond university.
  • Selected UCIL Short Courses also count towards the Stellify Award, helping you gain recognition for your wider learning and personal development. More options may be added in future.

Short Courses available from September:

  • Ethics and the Workplace: From Values to Action
  • Social Justice: From Theory to Practice

Further course information will be available on this page during Welcome Week 2026
