About this programme
Unlock your strategic leadership potential with this dynamic, learner-focused programme.
Offered on both a full-time and part-time basis, the University of Gibraltar’s MA in Leadership and Management is a career-focused programme aimed at aspiring leaders within the civil service and private sector.
Designed to enhance your professional skills and support government and industry operating at the highest possible level, this programme will introduce you to advanced management theory and leadership techniques.
The programme’s blended approach will place you at the heart of the learning experience by providing you with the opportunity to undertake a mix of both online and face-to-face modules.

Career Opportunities
The main target audience for the MA are those professionals who wish to enhance their career prospects, as well as recent graduates who have undertaken meaningful placements or work experience. The MA will provide high-level application skills across key aspects of leadership and management as well as the opportunity to apply the learning in a chosen area of interest. It will also benefit those for whom their undergraduate degree was not in a business-related area (e.g. pharmaceutical, engineering, medical and healthcare, education). By providing a comprehensive grounding in leadership and management, it thus paves the way for professionals to attain leadership and management positions within their existing fields.
