About the course

This innovative new programme has been designed to meet the needs of practitioners who are mid-career and want to further their education by focussing on their own practice. As a student, your studies will therefore be directly related to your work and your own personal area of interest. The aim of the course is to allow you to explore your practice in a way which improves your work performance whilst gaining a Masters qualification. The programme should be challenging and enlightening to you, both personally and as a practitioner. This programme serves as an excellent leadership development opportunity as it involves a robust enquiry into how you, as a leader, carry out your practice.
