What you’ll learn

LEADERSHIP | PROJECT MANAGEMENT & DELIVERY

During the programme, you’ll get stuck into all aspects of project delivery, seeing how things work from the inside out and learning what it really takes to lead within a large organisation.

You’ll build a solid understanding of how the different parts of AWE fit together, while sharpening your skills through hands-on experience and tailored training, both in-house and externally.

You’ll work alongside and as a key team player within project teams tackling major projects, from large scale construction projects, cutting-edge science programmes, the current warhead programme, nuclear threat reduction and the future warhead programme.
