Looking for a step onto, or a leap up, the career ladder? Looking to study for a degree in a venue close to you, while continuing your employment? Learn and develop workplace leadership and management strategies with our DipHE Applied Leadership and Management in the Workplace programme.

This programme explicitly focuses on future employability and career progression by introducing you to the approaches, strategies and skills considered essential for employment. The role of discussion and debate in the resolution of problems, development of your emotional intelligence and ability to work effectively, independently and in a team, and reflective practice, are some of the areas covered.

Entry is via an online application, and no previous qualification is required. These programmes offer opportunities to be taught in a variety of community-based centres. Programme delivery is during weekday evenings and weekend days – for example, a Saturday day followed by three Tuesday evenings and so on — to allow for full-time employment parallel to studies.
