About this course
The Senior Leader Apprenticeship (SLA) is an innovative alternative to a traditional master’s in Business, placing you and your organisation at its core.
Who is it for?
The SLA is ideal for new senior managers or those who have progressed within their organisation and require development as a senior leader.
How is it delivered?
This blended work-based apprenticeship is delivered over 24 months and includes four modules, assignment workshops, writing retreats, academic skills development sessions and tutorials. Each module is delivered in blocks of two days onsite and two days online.
You will be supported by the Programme Team and the Centre for Enhancement in Learning and Teaching (CELT) to develop the academic skills needed for success. Furthermore, SLAs will be encouraged to take advantage of the business facilities and services offered by Lincolnshire Open Research and Innovation Centre (LORIC) and BG Futures, BGU’s onsite Business and Enterprise Centre and Careers, Employability and Enterprise Team.
Assessment
You will be assessed through a variety of methods, ranging from traditional coursework to more practical assessments such as the creation of Vlogs and Podcasts. Throughout, an emphasis on self-reflection is also present, with you being encouraged to consider how you will apply learning within the workplace. You will be encouraged to self-select a format for your final project that best suits your career ambitions and overarching goals for your MBA. You may also opt to complete a business dissertation, applied corporate project, or produce a business plan.
