Course content

This programme develops key leadership and management skills for current managers and future leaders of organisations in the homelessness sector.

The course was developed by LSBU Business School in collaboration with the London Housing Foundation (LHF), who are sponsoring the course. LHF may consider sponsoring applicants from relevant areas of the public sector as well as the third/voluntary sector.

The course is primarily designed for appropriately experience and qualified staff in the homelessness and allied sectors. The course also enables you to make a study visit to a similar sector in another country through the support of the London Housing Foundation.

“I may have underestimated the work involved in the course but I cannot undervalue the amount of learning I will take away from the Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership in Housing and Homelessness: from tutors, coursework and other students. As well as helping me personally it has given me a new perspective on a range of issues that will improve how I lead my organisation for the benefit of the communities we serve. I would wholeheartedly recommend the course to new and seasoned managers." Recent graduate

Fees and funding

The London Housing Foundation (LHF) pays a flat fee to LSBU for each cohort. Applicants should therefore approach the LHF to enquire about possible sponsorship.
