(10) Introduction The world of commerce is always in a state of expansion and development, which is why experts in fields such as business, economics and finance are always in demand. It is also the reason why Unisa’s College of Economic and Management Sciences (CEMS) has developed a wide-range of short learning programmes (SLPs), more colloquially known as “short courses”, which are specifically designed to be current and match the needs and expectations of our students. Our Centre for Business Management, for example, offers an extensive and diverse range of courses. These courses provide our students with skills in entrepreneurship and PR for those looking to make it on their own. For practitioners it provides courses in areas such as advanced marketing, retail buying and labour relations management. And for business owners, programmes such as project and business management are worth their weight in gold. Advanced courses are also available for graduates – through Unisa’s SBL – providing students with skills such as advanced project management and executive development. Accountancy professionals are another much-needed commodity both locally and abroad, and the Centre for Accounting Studies provides numerous courses in subjects such as bookkeeping, payroll, auditing and taxation. Likewise, our Centre for Industrial and Organisational Psychology provides an excellent resource for students whose interests lie in fields such as workforce diversity, client service excellence and industrial psychology. There are also scores of short courses in fields such as public administration, transport and tourism, and manufacturing. We are proud to present our short learning programmes to you and we welcome you as partners in addressing issues in society as students of our short learning programmes..
