NEUPC recognises that employing suitably qualified procurement staff is vital for our universities to deliver efficiencies and value for money, but a skills shortage in the profession means a some institutions find filling these positions a challenge.
Since September 2016 they have offered the opportunity to study for CIPS qualifications at levels 3,4,5 and 6 and procurement apprenticeships through our study centre with excellent achievement results above the CIPS UK average.

What are the benefits to CIPS Study?
CIPS is a globally recognised qualification that can boost career opportunities and demonstrates to employers your commitment to developing your knowledge and skills as a procurement professional. You study across a range of procurement and supply topics which will help your career whichever direction you choose.
Contextualised Learning
Through the NEUPC Study Centre, we contextualise your learning to the HE Sector. Whilst the CIPS materials focus on traditional supply environments, we want to ensure that you learn how theory and recognised best practice can apply in the real workplace. You also have a great opportunity to network and learn from your peers in the sector.
