D6004 Master of Leadership

The course is structured in two parts: Part A. Leadership studies and Part B. Leading specialist practice. All students complete Part A and Part B, but Part B is differentiated by specialisation.

Part A. Leadership studies

You will consider the leadership dimensions of your work in leading change among people and within organisations, whatever your context; schools, public or private sector workplaces or communities. Various models of leadership will be considered including emerging views of leadership to address complexity and sustainability. You will gain an appreciation of leadership development, identities, ethics and values, and emotions. The course will culminate in a project focusing on an issue or challenge encountered in the process of leadership.

Part B. Leading specialist practice

In these studies you will focus on your chosen specialisation. Regardless of your particular choice, you will develop a sound knowledge base and acquire a thorough understanding of the nature of evidence to inform your leadership choices. You will also develop your understanding of the complex relationships and inter-relationships involved in leading productive and resilient learning communities, whatever their particular form or context.
