UndergraduateCourse summary
Effective Leadership is an essential element of sustainable organisations. The MA Leadership programme provides a transformative education that inspires, challenges, questions, and shapes effective leaders. Learning provides both intellectual and practical challenges that expand personal development within a collaborative, critically constructive community that seeks diversity of influences beyond the classroom. Through the study of leadership, students are able to develop the skills necessary to build successful careers in most industries, including Healthcare, Engineering, Retail, Banking, Hospitality and Social Services. The use of seminars where learners engage with external experts allows the learner access to the most current research. They are also expected to critique the input in terms of its application within their own practice and context. The programme is suitable for those already working within a senior role or those who wish to progress into a leadership role.
Modules
Compulsory Developing People in Organisations (20 credits) Leaders in a Global Business (20 credits) The Tools of Leadership (20 credits) Contemporary Themes in Management and Leadership (20 credits) Dissertation (60 credits) Leading Digital and Strategic Change (20 credits) Research Methods (20 credits)
Assessment method
The programme is assessed in a variety of formats including coursework, portfolios and seminars. Assessments are linked to industry examples and practical activities, and include evaluation of current leaders. Students who undertake the entire MA write a 15,000 word dissertation based on a piece of independent research on a leadership related area chosen by the student in discussion with the module lecturer. Each student is allocated a supervisor who will guide them through the research and writing process.
Entry requirements
Applicants are expected to have a good first degree (a first or upper second), although every application is considered in its own merit, so places may be offered on the basis of professional qualification and relevant experiences.
English language requirements
If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, our usual requirement is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 6.0, with not less than 5.5 in each of the sub-tests. We also accept other English language tests.
