The registration of interest form will be open for students to register interest in undertaking one or more of the three Core Training modules from Monday 9th September and will close on Thursday 26th September 2019.

Please be aware that this year you must register for each Core Training module you wish to take at the beginning of the academic year, even if they will run in term 2.
