If you want to develop your understanding of
strategic leadership and management, and transfer this learning
into pragmatic and productive knowledge, skills and abilities, this
is the programme for you. The Postgraduate Diploma/MA
programme covers a wide range of leadership and management
contexts and perspectives. It will appeal to those who already
work, or want to work, in the public, private or voluntary sector.
The programme welcomes home, European and International students,
to generate a rich cultural diversity in the learning group
and enable students to grasp key issues around globalisation and
business ethics.
Most students will register for and complete the
MA programme. Applicants who enrol for the Postgraduate Diploma can
progress to the MA dissertation on successful completion of module
assignments.
