E Learning Taster
This is an intense and varied development programme, which allows you to develop your strengths while challenging you to identify and improve on other areas of work. It aims to educate you primarily through analysing and reviewing your experiences using leadership theories and ideas. If you are an experienced manager, we aim to help you lead more effectively, build and maintain leadership across an organisation, and resolve leadership problems.
This part-time coached e-learning programme is offered as a three-stage pathway to enable you and sponsoring employers to manage time and money commitments. Enrolling initially on the Certificate, you may exit with the award of Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership Studies or, subject to satisfactory progress, you may opt to continue to the Postgraduate Diploma or MA in Leadership Studies.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership Studies (60 credits) helps you to improve your leadership practice and the support you can give to other leaders. The Certificate can be tailored to suit the needs of different organisations and incorporated into customised programmes, giving you the benefits of an accredited qualification with bespoke leadership development.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Leadership Studies (120 credits) builds on the Certificate and shows you how to lead major change processes, as well as other forms of intervention in organisational life. We aim to demonstrate how to enhance organisational effectiveness through paying attention to leadership. The Diploma is particularly suitable for employers seeking to develop the most promising leadership talent within their organisation.
The MA Leadership Studies (180 credits) guides you through structured enquiry into complex leadership questions and is especially relevant if you are aiming to become internal or external consultants.

I found the two years with the Centre for Leadership Studies to be an amazing experience. I learnt so much about myself and my framing of my leadership arena. This came from not only the course material, but also the coaching that the experienced staff provided and the experiences of other students, who came from very different working environments and therefore could provide contrasting perspectives on topical issues.
