This programme aims to develop the leadership and management capabilities of professionals from a range of backgrounds who have an interest in education and professional development. All the assessments for the programme are negotiated between the individual participant and the programme tutors and should be directly related to the participant’s professional setting.
The programme is part-time, comprising two distinct, but related elements. The first being the Diploma stage is delivered via six two-day residential sessions. Assessment for this stage is by means of a Reflective Portfolio based on the six residential workshops and a Learning Contract comprising a project or series of minor projects which are work-related. The second part is the Masters stage during which participants work towards completion of on a dissertation along with support from programme tutors.
Whilst the programme does not claim to be unique, the particular blend of approaches taken make it unusual and ideal for individuals who are committed to their own personal and professional development and eager to focus on practical and professionally related challenges. | | Key features of the programme
