This course is for any student that has had some experience of leadership or management in the workplace and who has aspirations to engage with leadership and management in a practical manner in the future.
Learning and teaching
The course will provide a variety of teaching and learning tools including case studies, leadership and management self perception inventories, lectures and seminars to provide a mixture of learning opportunities for each participant.
Coursework and assessment
To award credits we need to have evidence of the knowledge and skills you have gained or improved. Some of this has to be in a form that can be shown to external examiners so that we can be absolutely sure that standards are met across all courses and subjects.
Students will provide a written response to two leadership situations. This will take the form of a comparative description which will draw on leadership and management theories and will be no longer than 2000 words.
The most important element of assessment is that it should enhance your learning. Our methods are designed to increase your confidence and we try very hard to devise ways of assessing you that are enjoyable and suitable for adults with busy lives.
