Course summary

In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide. This fully online course is ideal for current and aspiring educational professionals who are seeking to deepen their understanding of leadership within educational settings.

The course is also well-suited for those aiming to enhance their career prospects by gaining a master’s-level qualification grounded in both academic rigour and practical relevance.
