- Aims of Course
Masters in Professional Leadership and Management
Aims of the Course
The aim of this course is to offer a broad, multi-disciplinary understanding of leadership and management for the public service professions, by bringing together academic insight and research into the professions and public leadership and management with participant and tutor experience of the contexts and character of professional practice. Through this, the wider aim is to promote greater understanding among professionals of the challenges involved in leadership and management of public service organisations, and to stimulate improved practice.
The Masters in Professional Leadership and Management therefore aims to:
1) Survey, review and analyse the changing public services context in which professional practice is set
2) Examine, assess and apply ideas of leadership and management in professional and inter-professional contexts
3) Develop participants’ personal awareness, confidence and skills in managing and leading professional practice
4) Develop reflective practice, professional skills and professionals’ ability to analyse, negotiate, and make defensible judgements in complex situations.
