Summary
Our Leadership and Management degree is dual accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and is suited to those looking to begin or develop a career in a variety of management functions both in the business and public sector.
This programme will equip you with the skills and strategies to deal with contemporary challenges in management practice that research by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) highlights. It has been developed in consultation with local and global partners and professional bodies.
During the course the principal methods of teaching and learning will be lectures, demonstrations, presentations, seminars, group work, simulations, case studies and self-study. We regularly arrange industry guest speakers from local employers to enhance delivery of module content. This links theoretical perspectives with practice and will further enhance the learning experience.
Students will supplement the above with independent study, an extra 12 or more hours a week, so will be balancing personal situations (home and work) to meet typical challenges of studying at degree level.
The emphasis on application of management and leadership skills means that this is a vocational and academic programme and will enable students to both ground their learning in the workplace and to reflect on work practice in an academic context.
The programme is taught alongside our Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship allowing you to share leadership and management experience with existing managers from a broad range of organisations. Diversity in the classroom is vital and individual needs are supported throughout the programme. Irrespective of background, and experience - professionally and academically – you will be fully supported by staff and others in the group.
