University of Bolton

For more than 25 years the University of Bolton (formerly Bolton Institute) has provided a wide range of employer-led business development activities for companies in the North-West and beyond.  From Continuing Professional Development, Product Research & Development to Enterprise Support, the university has a first-class record of bringing creative-thinking to the business challenges of today.

Through the newly created Business Support and Development unit, company managers can now obtain practical advice and guidance along with access to a wide range of effective products and services for business via a one-stop shop. 
Here in Bolton, we aim to be the North-West's leading business-facing professional university, committed to helping today's companies become more efficient and more profitable for a more sustainable future.
