Course detail
Next generation leaders must be able to thrive across different socio-cultural contexts while achieving success in organisations. In a dynamic global context with a wide array of diverse actors and stakeholders, global leaders need a unique set of skills and must be uniquely prepared. The Global Leadership and Peacebuilding programme seeks: (i) To deepen students' understanding of the different patterns of global leadership that have underlined social, political, economic and peace processes and outcomes in developing societies and across the world; (ii) To advance peacebuilding knowledge - conceptually and operationally - on the process of leadership and global problem-solving in developing societies and across the world; (iii) To develop in students deep analytical skills on responses to global challenges in the 21st century. Students learn to understand how the enormous complexity of global leadership – the multiple cultures, multiple actors operating across different levels and the interconnections among all of this. What will this mean for those trying to respond across all of these levels to build peace in multiple ways? What are the situations, contexts and cases that best reflect this complexity? Who are the actors that demonstrate capacity to manage this complexity? What are the tools for achieving this?
Teaching and assessment
We will use a delivery method that will ensure students have a rich, exciting experience from the start. Face to face teaching will be complemented and supported with innovative technology so that students also experience elements of digital learning and assessments. We assess our 15-credit modules in different ways according to the modules. They typically contain one piece of written work and an additional component. This additional component may typically include another written assignment, a presentation, or group work activity. This format may be different for modules from other departments.
Career prospects
Graduates of our MSc course use the skills and knowledge that they develop to build careers in further academic research, teaching, the public and private sectors, transnational corporations, international organisations (UN, EU, AU and worldwide regional organisations), international business and non-governmental organisations.
