What is a short programmes guide?

What is a short programmes guide?

A short programmes guide provides an overview of an institution's short courses, micro-credentials, professional development and executive education offer. It covers what is on the calendar, who it is for, what learners get out of it, and how to enrol. One live link, refreshed each term as the catalogue evolves.

Short programmes have a different buyer (working professionals, employers, alumni) and a faster decision cycle than degrees. A dedicated guide lets the executive education team market their portfolio without competing for space inside the main prospectus.
