The CPD team acts in a diverse range of ways with departments, groups, individuals, alumni and externals to develop and market CPD activities.

The benefit of these is that they can generate income for individuals, research groups or departments as well as widening the range of contacts made with external people and organisations, thus raising the profile of individuals and departments within their industry sector.
