Course Summary

Skills

Gain the expertise you need to standout in today’s marketplace.

Designed with professionals in mind, the Roehampton Education, Leadership and Management MA provides a highly flexible programme of study aimed at students and professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge and analytical enquiry.

By focusing on graduating with a professional skillset, you’ll become a confident, agile, independent thinker, with the ability to adapt rapidly to change. This incorporates:

  • Studying leadership and management in educational contexts from international perspectives to develop your knowledge, understanding and practice
  • Taking a people-focused approach, to understand the complexities of individuals and teams, and wider groups such as the staff, the organisation itself and beyond.

The aim of this master's programme is to strengthen students’ awareness of the social and communal influences that impact upon the ideas, frameworks and practices adopted by leaders and organisations within our communities.

The course is delivered through interactive workshops, lectures, and seminars at Roehampton. You will study a range of theoretical perspectives, critically looking at the values and assumptions underpinning these views.

Modules

Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Excellence: from Glass Ceilings to Sticky Floors - Core
What does it mean to lead? What does it mean to manage? What are the conundrums of leadership and management? What are the emerging issues in education, organisations and society that challenge leaders and managers today? How do I lead in times of change? How do I thrive as a leader? The sessions in the module are not designed to provide answers for there is no one answer to any of these questions. Instead, the sessions are designed around a topical area within education, education leadership or leadership broadly to promote discussion, debate, finding common ground from which to craft potential solutions and working together to suggest possible solutions. Using a problem-based learning approach to build community, collegiality, autonomy and efficacy, students will begin to view leadership and not as a solo endeavour but as a process where solutions can be constructed through dialogue and action. Students, therefore, should demonstrate that they can use a research informed approach to develop an understanding of complex issues that leaders face and have the skills in which to lead solutions.
