Course Overview
This online microcredential aims to enable students to develop their knowledge and skills in leadership and management by exploring and critically reflecting on concepts, approaches, and behaviours associated with managing self and others. Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to apply a range of leadership theories and concepts within their own professional setting.
How You Study
Students will work in a virtual learning environment, engaging with independent study materials such as videos and reading content and have opportunities to test their understanding.
Upon completion of the course, students are expected to be able to demonstrate an enhanced capacity to manage their own learning and development, critically analyse theoretical models of leadership and management in relation to managing self and others, and identify and critique the elements of individual, group, and organisational behaviour which underpin leadership and management practice.
The main topics covered in the course include:
- Critical action learning and understanding leadership development.
- Leadership theory and practice in relation to self-management.
- Leadership theory and practice in relation to group dynamics and managing others.
- Talent development and employee engagement.
How you are assessed
The types of assessment used will range from written assignments, reports, and reflective journals, which provide an opportunity to demonstrate learning. Specific guidance will be provided by the teaching team. All assessments will be subject to specific referencing and citation requirements, and University regulations relating to assessment, submission, and resits.
