Take part in workshops

You take workshops for different purposes. Of course, you can gain professional skills like programming in Python, or presenting, but you can also work out what kind of a career might suit you, or learn to profile yourself on LinkedIn. Workshops can yield both hard skills and soft skills, both of which you can use for your professional and personal development.

This page shows you some options for finding workshops offered by Economics and Business, our study associations, and third-party providers.

Workshops offered on the edX platform

edX is a trusted source of quality online workshops, set up by Harvard University and MIT. You can take hundreds of different courses, often for no charge (payment is made if you want a certificate as proof that you completed the course). Have a look at what edX has to offer, like courses in data science, marketing, blockchain, and business writing.
