Our Senior Leader Apprenticeship: Management and Leadership Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) programme is delivered in partnership with business advisory firm, Grant Thornton. The programme provides a distinctive and collaborative learning experience which develops students’ leadership and management capabilities enabling them to become reflective and evidence-based leaders of the future.
Businesses can use apprenticeship levy funding to cost-effectively develop employee management and leadership knowledge and skills enabling them to apply best practice and be more effective within their organisation. Students gain a comprehensive knowledge of core business functions enabling them to show leading-edge insights and knowledge in a variety of management areas and think more strategically about business and management.
On successful completion of the apprenticeship programme, which incorporates the Management and Leadership PgDip (Part I), successful students have the option to progress onto the Management and Leadership MSc (Part II), which enables them to cement their learning and complete a significant work-based project within their organisation. Graduates will have a deep understanding of contemporary business issues and a capacity to assume active leadership roles.
We welcome applications from talented candidates from all backgrounds. Candidates are normally high potential, early-career managers with one to five years’ post-qualification experience in any sector.
Candidates normally possess a first or second class UK honours degree (or international equivalent). Alternatively we will consider a professional qualification together with a minimum of five years’ post-qualification work experience. Other relevant qualifications, together with significant experience, may also be considered.
Professional experience and personal qualities are equally important to us and each application is considered on its individual merit.
To study for a formal award with us you will need to demonstrate that you can communicate effectively in English in an academic environment prior to the start of the course.
Most applicants meet our English language requirements by having previously obtained a higher education level qualification from a UK university.
