The MA in Leadership Studies is unique amongst university leadership courses in terms of both delivery and aims. Because adults learn best when building on their own experiences, these part-time coached e-learning programmes for experienced managers offer unrivalled personal support for each student in the form of weekly personal coaching from a dedicated tutor. This is augmented by a dedicated website providing extensive study material, activities, discussion forums, a personal learning log and links to key resource materials. This dedicated leadership programme places considerable emphasis on exploring and understanding contemporary leadership issues and includes strong elements of action, observation, analysis and reflection. It offers you the unique opportunity to integrate what you learn to your place of work. Our pathway to the MA provides the same content and format as the MA in Leadership Studies, but is offered as three distinct stages that enable you to manage your commitment. Enrolling initially on the Certificate, you may exit with the award of PgCert in Leadership Studies or subject to satisfactory progress you may elect to continue to PgDip or MA in Leadership Studies. The Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership Studies helps you to improve your leadership practice and the support you can give to other leaders. The Certificate can be tailored to suit the needs of your organisation and can incorporate a customised programme, giving you the benefits of an accredited qualification with bespoke leadership development. The Postgraduate Diploma in Leadership Studies builds on the Certificate and shows you how to lead major change processes, as well as other forms of intervention in organisational life. We aim to demonstrate how to enhance organisational effectiveness through paying attention to leadership. The Diploma is particularly suitable for employers seeking to develop the most promising leadership talent within their organisation. The MA Leadership Studies guides you through structured enquiry into complex leadership questions and is especially relevant if you are aiming to become an internal or external consultant.
