Level 5 in Leadership and Management

Prerequisites

This programme develops a range of leadership and management skills and knowledge including the following topics: the role of the manager/leader, engaging and developing others and managing work and performance. It is highly participative and there is a strong emphasis on applying new learning to your work situation for the benefit of your team and your department.

The programme has been revised due to changes to course requirements for the Institute of Leadership in Management (ILM). The programme will not therefore be accredited by the ILM. However it does include those topics identified as most relevant to middle managers in the University and is broadly equivalent to Level 5 within the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Successful achievement of the programme requires the assessment work to be completed as this gives evidence of how managers have developed and how they are putting their learning into practice.
