Our new Undergraduate School has provided significant, diverse and sustained opportunities for people in Lanarkshire to gain a degree qualification. With 13 degrees programmes running, areas of focus have included health and social care, business, digital technologies, science and the Arts with a strong focus on supporting, developing and growing the SME community in the region.
We followed up the launch of our undergraduate school with the launch of The Learning Well, our digital campus, which has been designed to offer flexible, high-quality, blended education for Lanarkshire and beyond. But more importantly it aims to address the educational attainment gap experienced within the wider Lanarkshire area.
Our flagship course, BA Business and Leadership, has been designed to unlock potential and drive career growth by exploring marketing strategies, entrepreneurship, innovation and the impact of technology on business success.
The new qualification examines approaches for balancing environmental, social and economic factors in business and emphasises the need for adaptability, ethical considerations and sustainable practices in order to connect with communities, inspire organisational teams and achieve lasting success. The course to date has enrolled over 90 students either working or living in the Lanarkshire area.
