Educational Leadership and Management (Distance Learning) (Degree Apprenticeship), Master

,
On this MSc Educational Leadership and Management degree apprenticeship course, you'll learn about leadership strategy, decision-making in education and human resource management. Whether you work in teaching, social care, healthcare, youth work or the police, you'll build on your previous skills, studies and experience and develop your expertise, theories and techniques to postgraduate level.

About

While this course is primarily work based, with teaching delivered online, you'll also need to attend an induction seminar on campus, and take one face-to-face unit. You'll typically spend about 20% of your time at work studying via distance learning. You'll also need to do some study out of work time. The Government or your employer pay your tuition fees – so it doesn’t cost you anything.

Once you complete the course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to take on new responsibilities in educational leadership and management and seek out ambitious new roles.
