Course structure

The Graduate Certificate of Leadership and Management (Organisation Dynamics) is offered on a part-time basis to people with an appropriate level of work responsibility and experience.

The course is designed around cohorts of students learning together across time. It is a 'temporary' organisation within which students study the emerging classroom dynamics alongside the issues that concern them within their own organisations. Small student cohorts (twenty or less) enter Year 1 and remain together as a learning group, as far as possible, across the course duration.

Assessment reflects the focus on work-integrated learning. The assignments are practical in application whilst also requiring the use of rigorous theoretical concepts.

The course is a carefully designed learning experience that is tailored to support incremental learning that builds semester by semester across the course.

To qualify for the award of the postgraduate Graduate Certificate of Leadership and Management (Organisation Dynamics) students must complete 4 subjects. Total 48 credit points.
