Entry requirements

Applicants suitable for the MSc or PgCert Leadership and Management Practice will typically have some experience of managing within an organization, they may be new in role or a manager wanting to develop their knowledge skills and practice.

Given the general nature of assessment, candidates will normally have some managerial experience and have one of the following:

a degree from a recognised University or equivalent awarding institution at second class honours level or above

Where a candidate does not fulfil the standard entry qualification, the Programme Leader may interview the person to determine their suitability for the Programme.

The course team has a strong commitment to widening participation and positively welcomes non-standard applicants. Candidates with management experience and a demonstrated aptitude for study can be accepted without previous experience of higher education at the discretion of the programme leader.

Where English is not the candidate's first language, or their first degree was not taught and assessed wholly in English, an IELTS score of 6.0 must be achieved, with no individual score of less than 5.5.
