An Introduction to Publishing

A great value, 4 day course for people with little or no knowledge of the publishing industry. Or those seeking a refresher. If you’re an intern, school or university leaver, returning to work or changing career, ‘An introduction to publishing’ is the perfect place to start.

‘An introduction to publishing’ aims to give you a comprehensive understanding of the business.

During the week, you’ll be taught by a wide range of professionals in a lively programme of interactive seminars.

On completion, you’ll receive a certificate from University College London to acknowledge your achievement. There are no entry requirements.
