Introduction
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.
Much of the study will focus on ‘live’ workplace issues that allow you to apply taught theory to your career and examine the practice of leadership and management informed by contemporary theory and practice. Small class numbers, participative face-to-face classes and live webinars with academics and global peer groups for the online modules ensure you will benefit from a highly personal learning experience.
