The first part consists of 11 modules taken over 15 months, and the second part consists of one module, Business Skills and Negotiations, and a thesis. For the thesis, you will propose a research project related to your organisation or a relevant subject and work closely with an academic supervisor to complete.
The course is highly interactive and student-centred with large elements of teamwork, group projects and private study.
To summarise, the structure comprises:
Months 1-15: 11 compulsory modules.
Months 16-26: Management and Leadership thesis research methods preparation, Business Skills and Negotiations module, and work-based-project or thesis.
Course delivery
Taught modules (65%) are assessed by a combination of written assessments that relate to a wide-range of management and leadership themes, projects, presentations and one exam. The organisation-based project, or relevant research topic of interest, (35%) is assessed as part of your coursework.
